Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I understand that before any complaint reached the NCPA, the Minister for Women and Children’s Affairs informed a senior police officer to take action. Thereafter there were public protests, which may have influenced timelines. In any case, formal complaints are also important.
