The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri challenged the consistency of a previous answer to his question on arrests or questioning in relation to an investigation. He cited the earlier response, which referred to COPA’s 2022 direction to the CID, a Finance Ministry referral, and a 2025 CID request for a further forensic audit that the Auditor General said could not proceed without access to parties and evidence, arguing that it contradicted the position now being taken.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I must read the prior answer to show it was incorrect. On 06.08.2025, I asked who had been arrested or questioned, and who was to be arrested. Your reply stated that on 21.06.2022 the COPA directed the CID to investigate, the Finance Ministry referred it on 12.07.2022, and on 02.01.2025 the CID requested a further forensic audit, to which on 07.03.2025 the Auditor General responded that without access to relevant parties and evidence he could not proceed. That contradicts today’s stance.
