The Prime Minister responded that a recent debate had already addressed the matter and that the 2021 PCoI Report has been available in Parliament since 2021. She said the Government cannot redo past investigations but is proceeding on the basis of newly emerged facts, with ongoing investigations to be reported to Parliament and the public when appropriate.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I am not clear what exactly the Hon. Member’s question is. A full debate was held recently; extensive facts were presented. The 2021 PCoI Report has been tabled since 2021 and is available to all. We cannot redo investigations of that time. Since our Government assumed office, we have proceeded properly; new facts have emerged and have been presented to Parliament. Investigations are ongoing on that basis. We will act on all necessary measures and inform the public. There is nothing to hide; the National People’s Power Government has nothing to conceal. We will keep the people informed at the appropriate time on all matters uncovered.
