The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Dayasiri Jayasekara thanked the Minister for the response but stressed the need for stronger intelligence-led policing, citing unresolved cases involving fugitives such as Ishara Sewwandi. He questioned whether steps had been taken to enable pre-emptive action against shootings and related crimes rather than police responding only after incidents occur.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Minister, for the clear reply. My emphasis was on figures and on fugitives like Ishara Sewwandi still not found. Police often respond only after shootings occur. If intelligence is strengthened, pre-emptive action may be possible. Have you taken steps to that effect?
