Hon. Sunil Watagala stated that allegations regarding 323 containers are already under investigation following a citizen’s complaint to the CID.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, the Member keeps repeating about 323 containers, claiming nothing is happening. An independent citizen lodged a complaint with the CID; yesterday media reported that after submissions before the Fort Magistrate, the court ordered a broad investigation and directed all media institutions to submit the unedited video footage. Under these circumstances, it appears even Hon. Dayasiri will have to apologize again, as he did yesterday regarding the North Central PC vehicle auction. CID investigations are underway. It is false to say nothing is happening; do not socialize lies.
