The Hon. Ajith P. Perera
Ajith P. Perera questioned a Deputy Minister’s public statement to Dinamina on 22 September claiming that a government-appointed committee had already uncovered fraud. He asked how such a conclusion could be known before the committee’s report was released, arguing that the statement was either procedurally improper or baseless. He demanded that the report be tabled or the allegation withdrawn.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Deputy Minister told Dinamina on 22 September that a committee appointed by this Government has already uncovered fraud. If the report is not yet out, how does he know? Either their process is wrong, or the statement was baseless. This is defamatory without foundation; table the report or withdraw.
