Kumara Jayakody stated that the Cabinet sub-committee in question had been established under the previous Government, not the current one. He argued that the relevant issue was whether due procedure was followed, noting that the existence of Appeal Boards in the Guidelines showed that an appeals mechanism was intended and had functioned accordingly.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 That Cabinet sub‑committee was not appointed by us; it existed under the previous Government. The issue here is not the committee’s composition but that due procedure was followed. If there were no Appeal Boards, why would the Guidelines provide one? The mechanism worked as intended.
