The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa addressed concerns about appeal rights following decisions of a Commission.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, they themselves say there is no appeal after a Commission decision. If the Commission delegates powers to the IGP, any grievance can be appealed back to the Commission, since the delegation is by the Commission itself. Therefore, no one should be alarmed.
