Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, without cutting his time, I will use Government time briefly.

¶ 02 First, Government funds must be established under the Treasury; therefore, setting up the Clean Sri Lanka fund under the Treasury Secretary is correct. Second, Hon. Member, you cited specific figures regarding payments to the singer and others. Can you submit those details orally or in writing?
