Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, allow me briefly. He clearly said teachers and principals in this country do not have qualifications to obtain the salary anomaly. I taught until 2015. I am not someone who sat in trade unions to secure pay like him.
