Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, thank you for the opportunity, though my allotted time was reduced. As we debate the Votes of Public Administration/Provincial Councils/Local Government and Labour, I intend to present several proposals. First, the Government is using Grama Niladharis to count monkeys and macaques, while far greater responsibilities should be assigned to them.
