With all due respect to committee members, it seems like the president wants to pass the ball again! Remember all those previous presidential committees? They'd cozy up in their AC rooms, conduct inquiries, and basically throw a taxpayer-funded party. Now, here's the million-dollar question: What's the project cost for this exercise, and how much is it going to cost us for srilankan citizens?

Presidents appointed Commissions on Easter incident, SC too gave a Judgement, Commission reports released, no follow up, it will be the same this time too. Our money is wasted on the Commissions and only the commission actors make a profit with no result

Yet another committee to delay justice and deceive victims and their families. International probe is must to prove innocence or otherwise.

This is a pathetic attempt by RW to avoid a proper investigation into one of the worst dastardly and despicable criminal acts in this century. Obviously, the Government is frightened to allow to have an international investigation.

RW you are all about yourself and little about the country. You just procrastinate things through commissions. How many more commissions do you want when you know the plain truth. THIS WAS ENTIRELY DONE TO EMBARRASS you and your Governments at that time. The fact that you lack any feelings simply shows in your action. You know that if you lift your fingers against the Rajapakses you will be out of your unelected job the next day. Remember many families are going to sleep tonight without their parents and siblings because of you Sirisena and the Rajapakses whilst you do your pompous walk in Cuba

This is a Joke. Instead of checking the veracity of the information so brazenly shared in Channel 4 news, we set up a committee to say that "Ch 4 got it all wrong". Can the politicians like RW not find a better way to hoodwink the public? If they cannot find one they should vacate their seats with dignity. Oh! I used the wrong word DIGNITY is an alien word to these people.

This is what RWs BEST skill is - appointing committees. When he was the UNP leader for almost 30 years he lost abt 25 elections. After every loss he appointment a committee to find out what they lost… :)…

President himself is not giving due recognition to the Supreme Court's judgement, and Commission report released already. It is quite obvious that political leaders of this country are safeguarding each other of their betrayals and blunders where most of them are national tragedy. President Ranil Wickremesinghe has become the most opportunistic political leader of this country by aiding and abetting meg crimes perpetrated by the Rajapakses. Shame on you Ranil Wickremesinghe the serial loser of all times.

Mr President in spite of the requests to adjudicate the Easter Sunday Bombing by an International team you insist to appoint a Committee which is home grown. If you genuinely want a Transparent and a Truthful outcome why not get one of the ex Presidents like Mrs. Chandrika Bandaranaike, ex Supreme Court Judge Mrs. Shirani Bandaranayake, and ex Director of the Police Mr. Shani Abeysekera to be the composition of the Committe because they have been impartial in the past.

RW aka RR, we know this is how you kiss investigations by appointing committees to come with decisions suitable for you and the survival of the Rajapakses. Remember that committee you appointed to investigate the Minister involved in the Japanese bribery case? Your committee found him "not guilty" and he is still in the cabinet when the whole world knows what really happened. Nothing short of a professional international investigation is acceptable.

Ranil as usual has once again proved that he is not an "honest person". If he is an honest person he will appoint a stronger investigation team which will include members from foreign intelligence services who lost their citizens in the attack and also Shani as Citizens representative. Ranil is protecting the "maha mulakaru".

No need a committee - to waste further money from the poor pockets! Resign all from the parliament in protest of these statements my Chanel 4! This saves Billions of dollars for poor people to get medicine, food, books for children and other benefits!

Ranil you are protecting Mahinda, Gota and Basil from all their wrong doings - means protecting the rogues also a similar crime. If you want to come back in power, hold the elections and form a strong UNP leaving the thieves (Rajapakshas' Potuwa gangsters).
