Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary question to the Hon. Minister:

¶ 02 From inspections at several depots, it is evident very old methods are used for stock control. Practically, issues also appear in bulk procurement. That is why I raised this question. Within depots, staff who serve on buses also need an attitudinal change. In the private sector, they gain profits; generally, SLTB keeps incurring losses. This is a time we need attitudinal development among staff regarding stock control and depot operations. Do you have a programme for that?
