The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri

Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri questioned the Government’s progress on a proposed forensic audit, stating that letters from the CID and National Audit Office indicate a lack of witnesses, insufficient evidence, and limitations in proceeding with the investigation, and tabled those letters. He argued that, as in the coal tender issue, responsibility appeared to be shifted to officials, and asked what mechanism would be used to hold the actual perpetrators accountable and whether the matter had been used as an election slogan or to protect those involved.
