The Hon. Ajith P. Perera
Ajith P. Perera asked why approximately 42 corruption-related cases, allegedly withdrawn against powerful individuals including former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, had not been refiled despite a presidential election promise. He questioned whether the delay was due to fear, political arrangements, or other obstacles.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: It was promised at the last presidential election to re-institute about 42 cases withdrawn against powerful, wealthy, corrupt individuals including former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Why are they not being re-filed? Is it fear, a deal, or some other problem?
