Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you. From the day I assumed office, I clearly instructed my company not to take any new Government contracts. The projects mentioned were undertaken years before I took this position. These companies have contributed actively to local digitalization, avoiding foreign software imports and building such systems domestically. The RDA software you refer to was provided earlier and is now only being maintained. No new contracts are being pursued. I have clearly stated that while I am in office, both companies will not take new Government work.
