Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, please grant me one minute!

¶ 02 Rather than only pointing out what past governments failed to implement, we have already initiated the necessary steps to address the needs of our people—especially women—including practical programmes to resolve their income issues. The Hon. Prime Minister of this country is a woman; similarly, the Minister of Women and Child Affairs is a woman. Therefore, we will bring proper solutions to the problems faced by women in this country. With that, I take my leave. Thank you.
