Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 My second supplementary: This issue can benefit the whole country, especially now. The valuation and payments for leases and the quarry seem improper, with a foreign investor producing locally and repatriating profits in dollars. Will you convene a structured discussion involving the cement plant and the limestone quarry to devise a proper programme? We are ready to support at district and national levels.
