Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I have submitted five documents on fraud and corruption. Deputy Minister, please say whether you have commenced any inquiry into those matters up to today. That is what is happening. Then the people lose trust. That is why we told you to work hard. Are we mad? I hold a Master of Science Degree in Medical disciplines and an MBBS. When I come to this Parliament and say these things, some say we are mad.

¶ 02 [Expunged on the order of the Chair.]
