The Hon. Asitha Niroshana Egoda Vithana
Asitha Niroshana Egoda Vithana asked the Prime Minister about ongoing anti-corruption investigations following the Government’s strengthening of CIABOC, the CID and the Attorney General’s Department. He referred to recent arrests and inquiries into politicians and officials accused of large-scale misuse of public funds, and questioned how the Government views claims of political victimization by those who had previously demanded such investigations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Two supplementary questions to the Hon. Prime Minister.
¶ 02 First: Before this Government took office, many Opposition leaders claimed to have files “filling double cabs.” After this Government empowered CIABOC, the CID and the Attorney General’s Department with resources to conduct independent investigations, we now see rapid arrests and inquiries into politicians and officials who stole billions in public funds. Those who demanded “Where are the probes and arrests?” now allege political victimization. What is your view?
