The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister
The Prime Minister stated that the Government was elected with a mandate to eradicate corruption and argued that credible investigations should be led by the Government side. She said the Opposition had been invited and given time to present evidence for its allegations but had not done so, and urged the public to judge based on facts rather than political claims.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, I do not believe anyone on that side will sincerely investigate corruption. To investigate properly, it must be done from this side. Therefore, there is no argument. I invited them to present evidence. I allowed them time; now allow me to conclude. Our Government was elected to eradicate corruption. The Opposition still has time to prove their claims; they have not done so. I invite the people to listen to facts, not noise, and decide who is corrupt and who is not. Thank you for the time.
