The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa - Minister of Health and Mass Media and Chief Government Whip
The Minister of Health and Mass Media, speaking during debate on the Government’s second Budget, criticized Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva’s response as an attempt to undermine the Budget. He remarked that Dr. de Silva, described as an economic guide of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, should have been allocated more time to fully present his arguments.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, this is our Government’s second Budget, which the Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva completely attempted to undermine. He is considered the economic guide of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya. Hon. Harsha de Silva, I feel allocating only 45 minutes to you seemed almost like a conspiracy — you should have been given about an hour so that you could fully set out your case.
