Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, you yourself noted the Bureau had been taken to Badulla under your Government during Dilan Perera’s tenure; inquiries are ongoing into related matters. Regardless, it is problematic for the same staff to remain long in one station; transfers are necessary to avoid irregularities. We are effecting transfers with fairness, without vendetta.
