Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, as the Hon. Member noted, only 20 per cent of our term has elapsed; 80 per cent remains to address these issues. We stand by our position and strategies. Building trust with the victim community is a priority. We understand their concerns and welcome continued engagement.
¶ 02 Over the past year, we have shown willingness to listen, compromise, and change tactics when necessary, and we will continue to do so, including with the broader victim community that also voted for us. We recognize the erosion of trust and, as a new Government, are committed to rebuilding it.
¶ 03 We acknowledge problems within local initiatives, which are being addressed. I request the Hon. Minister of Justice and National Integration to respond on institutional issues under his purview.
