The Hon. Kitnan Selvaraj

## Summary Hon. Kitnan Selvaraj spoke in support of Orders under the Special Commodity Levy Act, the Resolution under the Customs Ordinance, and Regulations under the Motor Traffic Act, using the occasion primarily to defend the NPP Government's economic and social record. He cited export growth of 6% with total export income exceeding USD 14 billion over ten months, and highlighted the recent resumption of vehicle imports as evidence of economic stabilisation following Sri Lanka's prior debt crisis. The speaker also lauded the passage of the Parliamentary Pensions (Repeal) Bill as a historic measure advancing workers' rights, and noted that estate workers received a wage increase without industrial action. He further argued that the NPP Government promotes ethnic, religious, and linguistic harmony, referencing support for multiple religious observances, and criticised the Opposition for inconsistency in opposing both the estate workers' wage increase and pension reform.
