The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
Dr. Harini Amarasuriya stated that information on Ananda Wijepala’s service had previously been disclosed in Parliament and was not new or secret. She clarified that she had not alleged illegality and had only presented records currently held at the Prime Minister’s Office relating to the period of former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. She said those files contain no reference to a vehicle or a Director General post, while noting that some records may have been moved after Wickremesinghe became President.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, there is no secrecy here. We have previously presented information that Hon. Ananda Wijepala served as an officer there. The then MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake has also made statements in Parliament about this on several occasions. This is not new information. Also, I did not state that this was illegal. I presented only what is in the files currently at the Prime Minister’s Office. This occurred during the period of former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. After he became President, we do not know whether some files were moved to the Presidential Office. I can only present what is currently available at the PM’s Office. Those files contain no information about a vehicle or about a Director General. Mr. Speaker, I have tabled the information. There is no mention of a Director General post in those files.
