The Minister said inquiries are ongoing into cases where persons in power allegedly used security personnel, relatives, or domestic staff to act on their behalf, including in the North. He noted that identifying the political principals takes time and urged Members to provide any relevant information to support the investigations rather than expect immediate admissions from offenders.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, those in power rarely apply in their own names. They use security personnel, relatives, or domestic staff. Tracing the political principals takes time—especially in the North there are ongoing inquiries. Do not expect instant confessions from offenders. Assist the process by providing any information you have.
