JO Vows to See Ranil Before Bond Commission

The people are waiting until Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is summoned before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) to Investigate and Inquires into the Issuance of Treasury Bonds, the joint
opposition said today.

Joint Opposition member and MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage told a news conference that they did not know whether the real culprits (Hinting PM) would be summoned before the PCoI. However, many bigwigs of this
government including the former finance minister have been summoned before the bond commission during its nine months proceedings, he added.

Further he said, that the United National Party (UNP) Chairman Malik Samarawickrama and its General Secretary Kabir Hashim also recently arrived at the PCoI and added that the proceedings were quite different at the bond commission on that day compared to the other days; “No cross- examination had been done,” he concluded
He also charged that the alleged bond sale issue could be considered as a large-scale robbery which had taken place with the state assistance.
