Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, regarding the issue raised by Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen: there are about 97 persons in that matter. There was a Bribery and Corruption complaint that they were recruited for money. While that complaint was pending, we could not regularise or recruit them. That process is now concluded. We have informed the Department of Management Services. I believe we can now absorb them into the cadre, and resolve the matter soon, giving opportunities to all concerned.
