Speaker to Disclose Name of MP’s Who Phoned Aloysius

The Speaker Karu Jayasuriya told the journalists that the list of MPs who have had telephone conversations with former Perpetual Treasuries beneficiary owner Arjun Aloysius will be tabled in Parliament this week.

However, he denied claims that the Presidential Commission of Inquiry report that looked into the questionable Central Bank Treasury Bond issuance contains a list of 118 MPs, who alleged to have obtained money from Aloysius.

He further stated that these claims are badly affecting the ‘honourable’ status of the MPs. Therefore I wish to make an announcement in this regard on Tuesday in Parliament and table the available list containing names of MPs who had telephone conversation with Arjun Aloysius.

He said he had called the said list from Secretary to the President Austin Fernando.
