The Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) will summon the authorities of the Central Bank on June 29 for an examination of its transactions, it is learnt.

COPE, a parliamentary watchdog committee, met last week and examined the financial situations in various other government institutions.

The State Engineering Cooperation was one of them. COPE had found that as many as 1000 employees on its payroll idled without any specific tasks being assigned to them.

COPE is at present headed by JVP MP Sunil Handunnetti.(Kelum Bandara)

    Provided he is found not guilty and exonerated from all charges by a COPE headed by and represented by all the opposition groups, what is wrong in re-appointing him?

    Mahendran gives government bonds to his very close relatives at higher rates. isn't that clear? even not, why he involves his very close relatives in this kind of billion dollar transactions? Well,this COPE report will show where the JVP is heading.

    Re-appointment is wrong, because it was a daylight robbery that only you cannot understand but all others.
