Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, you said those accused of corruption are not on your side and that you will act irrespective of rank. I will give you, in writing, details of an individual who was involved in fraud, lost his case in court, resigned, and has now been appointed to your Cabinet. He is seated here today. I challenge you to remove him irrespective of rank, as you said. Thank you.
