We can’t let perpetrators escape with no punishment – Harsha

01 Jun 2012 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

UNP National List parliamentarian Harsha De Silva said the struggle to bring perpetrators of the NSB-TFC fiasco would go on undeterred.

“Being in the opposition, we have been able to look after the interest of the public.

We can’t let perpetrators escape with no punishment. If there is any wrong doing they have to be dealt with seriously.”

“The deal is just the tip of the iceberg of a plethora of illegal activities taking place within the market through EPF funds and by other investors. In the adjournment debate, I requested a Parliamentary Select Committee to go into the details of the deal.”

“The people including those responsible have now resorted to attacking the messenger instead of the message, but this won’t deter us. We will ensure that the wealth of the people is not robbed by a bunch of crooks,” he added. “Unlike the NSB fund, the EPF is much bigger and the people responsible are much more powerful. We will continue to fight to ensure credibility and transparency in all transactions.”
