The Hon. Kumara Jayakody
Kumara Jayakody responded to the Leader of the Opposition’s remarks on LNG, stating that the figures cited related to a 2021 tender and were based on evaluation variables no longer applicable. He said the tender had been closed in 2021 with Cabinet approval, and cautioned against relying on outdated or second-hand briefings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Very briefly, Hon. Presiding Member. The figures the Hon. Leader of the Opposition cited on LNG relate to a 2021 tender. The variables used were for evaluation then; they are not applicable now. That tender was closed in 2021 with Cabinet approval granted. Do not come relying on briefs given by those who could not even attend Parliament like Gammanpila. It is not good for you, Hon. Leader of the Opposition. Please understand this correctly.
