Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has instructed the relevant officials not to summon the journalists to the CID, who disclosed the garlic scam to the media, Cabinet Spokesman Dullas Alahapperuma said.
He told the weekly Cabinet briefing that Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekara also assured that the journalists will not be summoned to the CID nor the CID will visit the media institutions to inquire about the incident.
The Minister said he regretted over the incident and that such an incident should not have taken place.
He said Minister Bandula Gunawardana had lodged a complaint with the CID over an allegation made by an official of the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) over the garlic scam.
He said Minister Gunawardana did not name any media institution or journalist in his complaint and said there was some confusion over this matter. (Ajith Siriwardana)

One more nail. Restricting journos from collecting information and highlighting. Soon there could be a blanket ban on news

These have to be carefully done, hence journalists should be kept away.

Ha! ha !! you can't cover the black spot only with whitewashing. Kickout the black spot maker or wait for repetition.

What has the CID to do with any of this? If the reporting was incorrect then take the media institution to courts. But it seems the reporting was in fact correct, and that is why this Minister is regretting the scam situation. All in all this is another boru show by the government.

"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" is seemingly, in fact, the theory practiced here.
