Wasantha Samarasinghe clarified that the issue was not whether the CPC agreed to receive shares or whether others agreed to provide them. He stated that if the requested 20 per cent share allocation to the CPC is granted, it would be acceptable, and that further increases could be considered without obstruction.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Listen, I will explain. The story is different. Neither agreeing to give shares to CPC nor CPC agreeing to take them was the issue. If CPC were given the 20% we requested, we are agreeable, and more can be raised; there is no barrier.
