Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, while the question is mainly about bank loans, let me respond on ex-gratia for voluntary retirees. We plan to pay in two phases. We expect the Treasury to provide 50%; a Cabinet paper has already been submitted. We believe we will get approval next week. Accordingly, by the 15th of this month we will pay the first 50% to those who took voluntary retirement. The balance 50% will be paid within a very short period thereafter.
