Minister S.B. Dissanayake said today the President and the Prime Minister should take a decision with regard to the individuals being revealed before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into the Bond Issuance, while protecting the dignity of the government and political parties as it could lead to public unrest and issues within the political parties and the government.

The Minister told a news conference that it was clear that there were issues about certain names being revealed before the commission and added that it was the responsibility of the President and the Prime Minister to look into the matter.

When asked about Minister Ravi Karunanayake claiming before the Commission that he knew nothing, Mr. Dissanayake said some people who were summoned before the Commission had become speechless and said that they utter something to get away.

“They say such things maybe because they are unaware of something or maybe they do not like to accept the allegation. But the judges at the Commission ask those questions with evidence at hand,” he said.

When asked whether the matter was discussed in the Cabinet, he said the President and the Prime Minister should take a decision as a political party and the government before it is taken before the Cabinet. (By Ajith Siriwardana)

The PM or the President will not get involved in any of these as they want to stay in power for the rest of the period. If they wanted to get involved, they should have done it before this happened. Our prez and PM r weak n slimy

Upul you are 100% correct.

Let the commission take it's due course to final conclusion. It is better if busy bodies stop advising, more so when a colleauge is involved,

The President and the Prime Minister do not have any say in this matter. The law of the land is bigger than the two gentlemen and the law should prevail.

Samson Samaranayake Friday, 04 August 2017 05:19 AM

President and the Prime Minister will save the culprits and absorb them, they will not take any actions as they promised.

Sri Lankans on the 2nd stopped all work or went slow due to the RK hearings. Gossip is food for our countrymen, so we should have a Ministry for Gossip so that people could concentrate on gossip than work. The end part, country will go bankrupt, people begging etc. Forget about things others do and do your assigned work efficiently for the sake of our future

Dr. A.C.B. Jayaweera Friday, 04 August 2017 05:10 AM

Well only the President not the Prime Minister as he is also a culprit on this issue.

Desmond Jeromme Friday, 04 August 2017 05:21 AM

Hay SB, in that case President and PM should have taken action against all corrupted JO mockers as they promised. What happened, they are protecting them.

Lion Viswanathan Friday, 04 August 2017 11:28 AM

They are so scared to MR and Gotta.

J Palitha Friday, 04 August 2017 11:30 AM

SB if you have a back bone go and tell President to take action against Namal, Basil
