Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Then I conclude. If there is any committee or inquiry on these matters, summon me. I am firmly against theft, corruption, and arbitrary acts. Officials colluding with politicians created this cursed situation. All responsible—regardless of party—must be punished, and the money recovered. I raise both hands in support of the Proceeds of Crime Bill.
¶ 02 Thank you.
