Speaker Karu Jayasuriya announced that he has decided to table the Central Bank forensic audit report following requests made by opposition Parliamentarians.
The Speaker announced this when the Parliament convened today (21).
The Attorney General had informed the Speaker earlier that it was not appropriate to submit the forensic audit report to MPs.
However, JVP MP Bimal Rathnayaka said there were enough precedents where Parliament had made its own decisions despite the directives given by the Judiciary. Rathnayaka noted that the legislature has the right to make its own decision on the forensic audit.
The Speaker said that he would recommend it not only to the COPE Committee but also to all Members of Parliament.
