The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe
Mahinda Jayasinghe rejected claims that he had denied the existence of teacher salary anomalies and challenged members to produce evidence, including video, before the debate ended. He said he had consistently represented teachers on the issue and indicated that he would explain the nature of the salary anomaly, including clarifying references made to “2/3,” with supporting documents.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, you always utter falsehoods when we are absent. I challenge you to show where I said there is no teacher pay anomaly—do so before the debate ends today. Don’t lie. Remove this habit. You cannot lie now; we are here. You have always deceived teachers. I challenge you to show the video if I said that. I have always stood up about pay anomalies. I will explain in my speech what the anomaly is. You speak of 2/3; even the Opposition Leader spoke—explain what this “2/3” is. I will clarify with documents in my speech.
