One cope report including dissenting views: Sujeewa
26 October 2016 11:11 pm - 17 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Member of the Parliamentary oversight committee COPE, and State Minister of International Trade Sujeewa Semasinghe Senasinghe said there would be only one COPE Report, which would be presented to Parliament by COPE Chairman Sunil Handunetti, with the comments of different or dissenting views of a number of other members.
He admitted that there was an issue of Conflict of Interest, if and when one of the primary dealers, Perpetual Treasuries, among 17 other dealers registered with the Central Bank, had earned an unusual and un-proportional profit in the bond market because this particular company was managed by the son-in-law of former CB Governor Arjuna Mahendran.
State Minister Senasinghe addressing the weekly Cabinet news briefing at the Parliament complex said yesterday the UNP in anyway did not attempt to save any individual or establishment involved in the bond scam or sweep it under the carpet.
“But the objective was to go to the bottom of the scandal and tell the public the absolute truth on the issue,” COPE member and State Minister of International Trade Sujeewa Semasinghe said.
“There will be only one COPE report and we try our best to submit it to Parliament within this week. There are no dissenting reports as suggested by certain media and the Joint Opposition. The FCID, CID and the Bribery Commission are free to open a formal inquiry, if the COPE Report incriminated any individual or establishment over the bond issue and huge profits recorded by the Perpetual Treasuries in such a short period of time. We support fully such an action,” he added. (Sandun A Jayasekera)

Only big lies from this government
Yahapalaka Thursday, 27 October 2016 01:17 PM
This certainly is the beginning of the end for these deceivers. The public is well aware how these yahapalana MPs made a final but futile attempt to save "their" men, going to such a low level as to insult senior public servants who are doing their duty conscientiously.

C'mon just accept it. By now the whole country knows how incompetent your government is. So there's nothing to hide.
Silva Thursday, 27 October 2016 09:09 AM
After coming to power waiting for so many years in the opposition is this the first thing you do? And now trying to protect the wrong doers? Sir best way out of this is to punish the theives on your side. So people will know that UNP means business.

You and your party has really gone to the bottom in ascertaining the truth in this matter. It looks like that the truth you found is stranger than fiction and you are stuck in the bottom with it. We the stupid voters cannot even recognise you sir from the time of the election. It is certainly not a long way to the bottom. Very sad.

Why you need to analyse reports from 1998? Don' t fool the public.
