Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please allow me a minute, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
¶ 02 Some regressive trade unions and so‑called independent leaders are trying to weaken the public service for political ends, even as the government strengthens it, protects state enterprises, and pays allowances and advances due under the 2027 scale. I urge public servants not to be misled and to safeguard their future gains. This amendment will ensure proper auditing of Samurdhi banks.
¶ 03 Thank you.
