The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri questioned Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe over his earlier opposition claim that he possessed 400 files on alleged fraud, including the white onion case. He said the current proceedings appeared to rely only on a Sathosa complaint and urged Samarasinghe to disclose the names and evidence he had previously claimed to have, so that the Minister of Justice could act against those responsible.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe, when you were in the Opposition you said you had 400 files. Among them was a file on this white onion fraud. According to that, the thieves had been identified. I thought you would come today with the names and information and tell the Minister of Justice how to bring them to book. But what we have is only a case filed based on a Sathosa complaint. We would have respected it more if you had spoken today about the file you prepared, identifying the thieves.
