Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, regarding waste paper: when I was Minister of Mass Media under the Good Governance Government, all waste paper at the Government Printer and the State Printing Corporation used to be handed out at will. I brought a Cabinet Paper to tender it transparently. That earned significant revenue, even allowing bonuses to staff.
