The Hon. Harshana Rajakaruna
Harshana Rajakaruna referred to provisions of the Anti-Corruption Act, No. 9 of 2023, stating that interference with CIABOC investigations or destruction of relevant documents are serious offences. He raised concern over a complaint reportedly made by the Deputy Secretary-General of Parliament to the Bribery Commission against the Speaker four months earlier, and cited a letter dated 2026.02.03 from Chameera Gallage to the Secretary-General of Parliament in that context.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chair, under the Anti-Corruption Act, No. 9 of 2023, Sections 3(5), 127(1) and 127(1)(b), interfering with the work of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) or destroying documents relevant to investigations are serious offences. I believe the Minister of Justice will agree.
¶ 02 We face a concern: the Deputy Secretary-General of Parliament lodged a complaint with the Bribery Commission against the Speaker about four months ago. I have here a letter dated 2026.02.03 from Mr. Chameera Gallage to the Secretary-General of Parliament.
