Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 With respect, I downloaded this from your Ministry website minutes before I spoke; it says 15 million with a date. Procurement must be transparent. If the figure is changed at will, there is a serious issue. We will have to examine this procurement; tenders cannot be altered arbitrarily.
