Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, very soon — next month — as we have already announced, at the coming Budget we will clearly provide a significant salary increase for public servants, considering current living conditions. You can see it when the Budget is presented. There is no issue with the IMF agreement on this.
