The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Hon. Bimal Rathnayake pressed for an immediate clarification on whether the President had allocated Rs. 320 million for advisers, questioning why the matter was being deferred to Hansard or video records. He asked that the relevant member be given the microphone, even using his side’s speaking time, to state the answer in Parliament.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 The Hansard is not yet printed. Why avoid the question? People are technologically advanced, but—
¶ 02 We do not have much time. We want to know whether our President has allocated Rs. 320 million for advisors. Or which President you meant. No need to check Hansard or videos. You are here now—say it live.
¶ 03 Please give him the mic, Hon. Deputy Chairperson. Give him our time if needed.
