The Hon. P. Ruwan Senarath
Hon. P. Ruwan Senarath supported the 2026 Budget, describing it as a comprehensive measure to rebuild the economy and respond to current challenges. He said the Government was willing to consider constructive Opposition criticism, but argued that the Budget already contains policy-based and statistical responses. He urged Members to understand the Budget properly and work together on its implementation.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, finally I state this: the 2026 Budget is a step toward rebuilding the country’s economy. We believe it is a comprehensive response to the challenges. We are ready to respectfully receive and listen to constructive criticisms of the Opposition. However, policy-based and statistical answers to those criticisms are already contained in our Budget. This is not merely a Government Budget; it is the people’s Budget. Therefore, let us all work together to implement it. I request everyone to gain a proper understanding of it. I resume my seat.
¶ 02 Thank you very much.
