Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe said that his side had not had the opportunity since 1994 to implement policies associated with earlier leaders such as D.S. Senanayake, Dudley Senanayake, John Kotelawala, J.R. Jayewardene, R. Premadasa, Gamini Dissanayake, and Lalith Athulathmudali. He stated that, from the Opposition, they would assist the Government and offer an export strategy developed with grant support, before being interrupted as his allotted time had ended.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 We never got the opportunity after 1994 to do what leaders like D.S., Dudley, John, J.R., Premadasa, Gamini and Lalith did. But from the Opposition we will help. I will give you the export strategy — developed with grants.

¶ 02 Hon. Speaker

¶ 03 Hon. Member, your time is over.
