Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the President appointed an investigative committee, which has submitted its report to the investigative authorities. The President appoints such committees with a view to taking necessary action. I do not have the latest status as it is not within our Ministry, but a week ago, upon inquiry from the State Minister of Finance, I was informed that investigations are ongoing.
