The Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara, Attorney-at-Law - Minister of Justice and National Integration
The Minister of Justice and National Integration stated that the matters raised were under investigation and that the individual concerned had responded only to questions from the Committee, not made voluntary statements to the media. He argued that Parliament should not compel disclosure of details related to ongoing investigations, as doing so could interfere with or disrupt the investigative process.
