Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, you said these allegations were made by politicians. In fact, the first to reveal this were Customs trade unions, not politicians. Officials working in Customs brought these allegations. We did not name anyone; the names should appear in the report. If it is a big report, why is it not tabled even today?
