Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, if the Trade Minister has corrected that mistake, good. But as we knew until yesterday, it was “Sama Posha,” and a tender was to be called around Rs. 2.9 to 3.0 billion—about Rs. 370 per 807,000 units. No, no—please don’t take my time. You can speak after I finish.
