The Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) probing the Easter Sunday attacks is to hand over its final report on Wednesday (23) to parliament and it is learnt that the Committee has identified key officials who must be held accountable over the deadly attacks.
The PSC has also noted some strong recommendations.
The report has made recommendations related to both national security and reconciliation as well as communal harmony, it is learnt.
PSC member MP Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa has told The Sunday Morning that the PSC report has identified several officials who must be held responsible for the lapses in the national security mechanism.
“We have found several officials including politicians, who have to be held accountable for the failures in the security apparatus,” Dr. Jayatissa said.
He has further noted that the PSC was not in a position to recommend action against those found responsible for failing to prevent the attack.
“We have recognised that the national security system needs to be strengthened as well as the reconciliation process expedited,” he has said.
Dr. Jayatissa had added that with regard to reconciliation, it has been recommended that ethnic harmony, co-existence, and matters relating to reconciliation be incorporated and introduced from the school level.
