Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Watagala, my point is that over the past decade or so, data show these institutions have been weakening. Despite constitutional independence, the lack of administrative oversight has led to this situation. The responsibility for such review lies with the Committee on Constitutional Affairs and with Parliament. I ask that it be done.
