Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, an investigation is ongoing and matters are before court. After conclusion, details can be provided. Also, to the Deputy Minister’s question, it would be good if the Member clarified where he worked and how payments were made; that too is under inquiry.

¶ 02 Further, on gems and alleged murders—there are sufficient frauds; even Hon. Namal Rajapaksa acknowledged this.
