The Hon. Kumara Jayakody
Kumara Jayakody rejected implications that current issues were tied to his tenure, stating that the first supplementary question related to events from 10–11 years earlier, before he became Minister. He undertook to submit the outstanding data to the House and asked that proceedings move to the second supplementary question.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, when someone is fixated, they tend to assume others are doing what they themselves would. I state responsibly that I will submit the outstanding data to the House. The first supplementary is unrelated to my tenure; those events occurred 10–11 years ago. I have been Minister for one and a half years. Please proceed to the second supplementary.
