COLOMBO (Daily Mirror)- Several Opposition Members of Parliament have embarked on an endeavour to hand over a motion to Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana calling for the appointment of a select committee to probe the cricket crisis, the Daily Mirror learns.
While commenting on the matter, MP Dayasiri Jayasekera told the Daily Mirror that around ten members have already signed the motion. Members of the Uttara Lanka Sahabaga led by Wimal Weerawansa and the group led by MP Dullas Alaheppurama are backing the motion, according to him.
MP Jayaskera refuted the claim by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa that a select committee could be an effort to sweep the issue under the carpet.
“That is a foolish idea on the part of the opposition leader,” Jayasekera said.
Leader of the House Prasanna Ranatunga told Parliament on Saturday that a select committee will be welcomed by the government as well, responding to which Premadasa said such a move will sweep the issue under the carpet.

Could it be that the highest echelons of power threw this away to help somebody, somewhere... Why not interrogate every player, their family members, and check their mobile phone conversations too?

What we lack in Sri Lanka is independent investigative journalism. Can't journos get a scoop on what went wrong?

This is another drama by failed politicians. Only JVP is the opposition party. Others so called opposition MPs are proxy ruling party MPs.

A select committee is an eyewash. They have no legal power. They will sit for a month and issue a report and that is that. This is a move to delay and push the matter under the carpet. Possibly Dayasiri is a Shammi Silva fan like Cope Chairman Ranjith Perera.
