Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Who is Wasanthi? You are getting confused; careful when going home. Hon. Harsha, he is getting confused—better install a virus guard! You have a big family, after all.

¶ 02 Hon. Speaker, I thank Hon. Liyanage. It is clear: Keheliya altered process for corrupt aims; Jayakody did not have such an aim and did not touch the process.
