Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 We will, without hesitation. If illegal acts have occurred, all thieves will be caught—no equivocation. I strongly reject the claim that arrests are a cover. This is not theatre but a sincere effort to establish an anti-corruption culture. If wrongdoing occurs within that effort, investigations will follow and culprits will be caught. There should be no doubt.
