Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, thank you. Second supplementary: We cannot accept the PM’s answer as correct. If you station an officer at the Parliament gate or at Madiwela MPs’ housing, the CCTV will show that many of these vehicles are used by MPs. Please conduct an inquiry—you came to power promising to end such practices, but nothing has changed. Please investigate.
