Ajith P. Perera argued that emergency procurement leads to higher international costs and causes significant losses to the country. He questioned whether the Government was repeating the same deficiencies for which the previous administration had been rejected by voters.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, please give me a little time. Emergency purchases cost more on the international market—those extra billions are a loss to the country. If the Minister does not understand, I cannot help it. We were elected because of past deficiencies. Are you now repeating them?
