The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake argued that the Opposition had not presented a specific, evidence-based charge against the Minister. He acknowledged, however, that electricity generation output from imported coal had been lower than expected and indicated willingness to address that issue further if necessary.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Frankly, I am happy you have a brief moment of joy.
¶ 02 Hon. Speaker, the Opposition’s arguments do not level a specific charge at the Minister. They lack logical and evidentiary basis. However, we all accept this: the output from the imported coal has been lower than expected in electricity generation. If needed, I will speak to that.
