The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayathissa
Dr. Nalinda Jayathissa stated that the Government will pursue proper investigations and prosecutions into murders linked to past unrest, including the killing of Thajudeen. Responding to questions on Hans Wijayasuriya, he said earlier delays in providing data were technical, the data are now available, and Wijayasuriya is willing to support the Government’s digitalization project without focusing on salary or benefits. He urged that the matter not be politicized and said institutions would be coordinated to complete investigations and punish offenders.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson, I will respond to Hon. Mujibur Rahuman’s questions.
¶ 02 This Government will conduct proper investigations into all murders that fueled past unrest, including Thajudeen’s, and institute prosecutions. Regarding Mr. Hans Wijayasuriya, there were technical reasons for delays in providing data then; however, those data are now available. He is prepared to serve the Government’s digitalization project setting aside salary and perks. Let us not politicize this. We will coordinate institutions, complete investigations, and punish perpetrators.
