Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson, it appears Asoka Sapumal Ranwala is an SJB MP? Yesterday he challenged the Leader of the Opposition and that challenge was accepted. I say: require all Cabinet Ministers to present their qualifications. Do not expect us to pass by unfounded claims; let every Minister table his or her qualifications.
