Rejecting reports that an independent committee has been appointed to look into the PSC report and its findings, senior government sources said only discussions were ongoing and no committee has been appointed yet.

When contacted regarding the reports Presidential spokesman Mohan Samaranayake told Daily Mirror that they did not have any information about the names of members who were expected to be in such a committee.

“I’m yet to receive information regarding the names of the committee members,” he told Daily Mirror a short while ago.

Mr. Samaranayake had yesterday intimated to international mediapersonnel that four persons of standing from different sectors would be appointed to the Committee.

Cabinet spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella also expressed similar sentiments.

“I have no information regarding the names or the committee,” he said. ( Hafeel Farisz)
