Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, today we continue discussion on the inaugural Budget presented by the NPP government. This is the second day since our Hon. President presented the Budget. Looking at past budgets, scholars and the public alike say this Budget is an effort to lift our country to a higher plane. For years, people worked hard yet did not receive the benefits; this Budget aims to return benefits to the people—something lacking under prior systems.
