Chanaka Madugoda questioned the Government’s credibility in promising 75,000 jobs, citing its failure to deliver 30,000 jobs the previous year and the halting of appointments for selected Sub Inspectors of Police. He expressed the hope that at least 70–80 percent of the 2026 Budget proposals would be implemented.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Even now you say you will create 75,000 jobs. If you could not deliver 30,000 last year, how will you deliver 75,000 next year? You even halted appointments for a batch of Sub Inspectors of Police who had been selected. We hope at least 70–80% progress will be achieved on the 2026 Budget. Thank you for the time. I resume my seat.
