Anura Karunathilaka clarified that the names referred to by Hon. Chanaka do not appear in the available Presidential Commission reports. He stated that the references are instead found in a separate committee report led by an Imam, which he described as “Ranil’s committee,” and argued that it should not be treated as a Presidential Commission report.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Give me a minute, Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees. In the Presidential Commission reports available, those two names you mention are not there, Hon. Chanaka. What you refer to is in the report of the committee led by that Imam. That is not a Presidential Commission. You have erred again, as before. That is Ranil’s committee. It is in the report of Ranil’s committee that these stories appear. In the actual Presidential Commission report, there is no such reference about those officers.
