Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Very well. I will conclude briefly.
¶ 02 The Hon. Minister of Justice will inform us of the steps to implement this Act going forward. Therefore, I wish to reiterate: not only the stolen property of the offenders themselves, but any property transferred to their aunts, uncles, grandmothers, fathers, or sons—if obtained through theft or crime—will be recovered and returned to the people.
¶ 03 Thank you very much.
