Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will conclude. The Presidential Election ended months ago. Within the next month, start these processes. You can still be called “new” — we accept that, and we will support you. If you proceed progressively, we will support you, and so will the people. Mr. Speaker, issues about fuel and electricity prices are also emerging; we will raise them later. Wishing the Government well, and assuring support for good measures, I conclude. Thank you for the time.
