Minister of Public Enterprise Development Kabir Hashim told Parliament today that he had made a written request to President Maithripala Sirisena that investigations carried out by the Special Presidential Commission appointed to look into Srilankan and Mihin Air should be based on the J C Weliamuna report. 

The Minister was referring to an oral question raised by JVP MP Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa on the national carrier and Mihin Air. 

Dr Jayatissa questioned as to what had become of the investigations that had been carried out on the losses incurred by the two airlines. 

Minister Hashim said the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) should carry out an investigation on the two airlines. 

Mr Hashim said he was willing to go before COPE and testify on the two airlines. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

    Let the Special Presidential Commission be independent. Once released then compare the outcome with "J C Weliamuna report"

    Ha ha Waliamuna is a known yahapalana supporter. Why should a commission base on one report?

    sunanda Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:31 PM

    to people like you anyone who finds fault with MR is a traitor or My3 supporter

    Rio Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:44 PM

    @sunandaNo Waliamuna campaigned for my3 in 2015 and then for UNP. Its a fact whether you like it or not.

    Diaspora maggots don't know what they are talking about.

    johan Thursday, 22 February 2018 08:50 PM

    I think Weliyamuna Report is covering the details of fraud committed by the previous regime

    Amaratunga Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:09 PM

    If you are going to rely on Weliamuna then there's no need of a presidential commission.

    Jayaweera Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:14 PM

    Even after a humiliating defeat you haven't understood the mood of the nation.

    Premalal Thursday, 22 February 2018 05:06 PM

    That's because these people are born swindlers. They know nothing else.

    Ceylon Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:23 PM

    Corruptions because of own by government.business is not government matter.government do business to steal money.government is to offer basic wellfare to people.

    Saman Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:26 PM

    Politicians just don’t not seem to understand the purpose of Independent Commissions. Always interfering . Let them do their job without an incompetent Minister poking his nose into the investigation!

    Liberal One Thursday, 22 February 2018 03:46 PM

    I have another idea. Why not appoint Waliamuna, Saman Rathnapriya, dabara amila thero and sarath wijesuriya in to the presidential commission?

    karthik Thursday, 22 February 2018 05:05 PM

    How long you all going to speak about these commissions and wasting time. People don't know whether you all are politicians or Poly-trickcians to hoodwink the common man.

    dickie bird Thursday, 22 February 2018 08:56 PM

    Mind your own business Mr. Minister and let the PCom do their job as they deem fit and necessary.Commission... commissions ... is there nothing else to do for the Yahapalanaya ??get on with your job uplifting the lives of the down trodden.

    The Weliamuna Commission Report paints a very accurate picture of the situation at the Airline. It names some of those responsible.It is the tip of the iceberg - further investigations would reveal a lot more. This would include the involvement of the Politicians.This is why these investigations go nowhere.All the guilty people at the Airline are being protected at the highest level - no action has been taken against any of them.
