Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, thank you for your views. We will act only on valuations by State institutions and court outcomes. We will not sell or dispose of any State asset on an unsolicited proposal. If we proceed, it will be through transparent tenders for the highest bid and with Cabinet approval—not based on any single party’s request.
