The Hon. Chanaka Madugoda
Hon. Chanaka Madugoda raised a point of order responding to Hon. Nalin Hewage’s remarks, questioning whether the government had borrowed during its recent one-and-a-half-year period in office. He rejected criticism that his side engaged in publicity gimmicks, citing the launch of the Clean Sri Lanka programme in Galle as an example of similar conduct by the government.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order.
¶ 02 Madam Presiding Member, Hon. Nalin Hewage kept proposing that I respond continuously. I want to ask him whether your government did not borrow within the past one and a half years. You also said that we “beat drums” and did gimmicks. But what we saw in Galle was only you beating a drum to open the Clean Sri Lanka programme. We only saw that programme in episode 8508. Even if you accuse us, your recent period also passed in the same way.
