The Hon. Dilith Jayaweera
Dilith Jayaweera raised a Point of Order seeking clarification on figures in the budget documents provided to Members, stating that he could not locate the numbers being referred to. He noted that the figures may appear elsewhere or in the Budget Speech, and clarified that any earlier misreading was unintentional and not meant to mislead the House.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I rise to a Point of Order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
¶ 02 Sir, I was only seeking a clarification because I cannot see the numbers in this book given to us. And, if he can show me the numbers, it will be helpful. Hon. Member, what you are saying must be there somewhere else, but as per this book given to us, it is not there. In the Budget Speech, it is mentioned. So, that is what I am showing you. Probably, the way I read it out was wrong, but I did not intend to mislead. Thank you very much.
