The Presidential Secretariat today contradicted the Speaker Karu Jayasuriya when it confirmed that a copy of the bond commission report was given to UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake on January 17.

The secretariat’s information officer said the MP was charged Rs.5,000 for the bound copy of the report.

“The MP had requested for a copy under the Right to Information (RTI) Act,” he said.

However, on Wednesday in Parliament the Speaker dismissed claims made by the MP that he had obtained a copy of the report and confirmed that the copies of the report were only forwarded to the President, Parliament, the Attorney General and the Central Bank. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

Hon Speaker has nothing to do,under the RTI anyone can obtain from any institution.I think it was a smart move.

Ravi lied to the bond commission by giving false evidence and he is even screwing the president, PM and their office as well. How Powerful is Ravi compared to President and PM

Con-fusion with “Right for Information” and “Right for Lying”

Wow what a government. Good luck to our country. More and more people are leaving the country just like during JVP 88-89 and LTTE times.

In other words, the Hon. Speaker has lied to parliament.
