Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, I expected details only of vehicles belonging to the Western Provincial Council; but your answer aggregates local authorities’ vehicles as well. You are not the line Minister but have answered. Across provinces, for years there have been five provincial ministers including the Chief Minister using good vehicles. Now there are no people’s representatives in the Provincial Councils. Are those vehicles being used by officials, or have they been disposed of and proceeds remitted to the Government? What action has been taken?
