Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Finally, I wish to say this: The Hon. President stated that all possible measures will be taken to eradicate poverty in our country; that corruption is a tax imposed on the poor and a shackle that drags down our development. We are pleased that he has been able to present a Budget that frees our people from that shackle and sets our country on the correct economic course.

¶ 02 Thank you very much.

¶ 03 The Hon. Minister Eranga Gunasekara, you are allotted 10 minutes.

¶ 04 [4.12 p.m.]
