Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you. Hon. Deputy Chairperson, I spoke before him. Then there is no need to name anyone. Since I spoke before, it was I. I said this: in this Budget policy, regarding the salary increase for public servants—he said he does not know about the Budget. Please say whether what I said about the increase to public sector salaries is right or wrong. That is all. Wearing a tie and coat and posing as a pundit is unnecessary; please just speak to the salary increase.
