The Presidential Commission of Inquiry to Investigate and Inquire into Serious Acts of Fraud, Corruption and Abuse of Power, State Resources and Privileges (PRECIFAC) today decided to continue its proceedings, despite the protest.

The Commission rejected the several concerns raised by lawyers representing former president Mahinda Rajapaksa, including the legality of PRECIFAC and the appointment of high court judges to it.
