President Maithripala Sirisena today said the evidence given by a former lady superintendent of the Central Bank was the factual, correct and steady evidence given by any witness called before the Presidential Commission to investigate allegations against the former governor of the Central Bank.
Addressing a ceremony organised by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party Women Organisation at the SLFP Headquarters to mark International Women’s Day, the President said as a woman she had demonstrated her valour to fulfil her duty honestly and steadily.
“She had stated that she was under pressure and that there was nothing that could be done in her capacity. Her evidence is a classic example of the honesty, steadfastness and the qualities of a woman dedicated to fulfilling her duty.

Does this mean that the President is influencing the decision of the commission? I am just curious.

Nice words but will the guilty be punished?

How can the President say that she was right before commission accepts her evidence as factual. Others may say someting different. It is too early to prejudge - may be she is right but must await the COI verdict- otherwise imprudent statement.

Very immature of the Preident to say so till the Commission gives final verdict. He may be right but should not say this at this juncture.

President should not make childish comments of the commission proceedings. This is s bad precedence. via DM Android App

Regarding some of the earlier comments here, I have been following the "Bond case" closely and what the President says is true. Now he should be bold enough to make every citizen of this country aware of what went on and recover the lost money.

If the President can jump into a conclusion then why the commission has been set up or this is the decision in advance and unofficial because the commission of inquiry had been made by President himself .He seems to be either biased or immature .

No, the commission is inquiring to arrive at the president's decision.
Andrew Pitugala Friday, 10 March 2017 10:07 AM
now that the President has arrived at the conclusions, there is no more inquiry required. The only action remaining is the punishment which also the President can decide. Is this how our justice system going to work?

I feel that the President is both immature and biased, if not stupid to utter such statements before the inquiry is over. This is a way of influencing the PCoI's decision.
