Presidential Secretariat officials will study the report of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) appointed by President Maithripala Sirisena to probe the Central Bank Treasury bond issue before deciding on what course of action to take. A senior Presidential Secretariat official said the report was a comprehensive one and they would need some time to study it. The report was handed over to President Sirisena by the Commission’s Chairman, Supreme Court Judge K. T Chitrasiri, last afternoon.
“It’s a complete report with all the recorded evidence, annexures and recommendations,” he said. The report, numbering 1,400 pages, includes around 100 annexures. The evidence of 70 witnesses who appeared before the Commission, too, is included.
The handing over of the Report brings to an end the work of the three-member Presidential Commission of |Inquiry (COI) appointed in January to inquire into the issuance of Central Bank Treasury Bonds from February 1, 2015, to March 31, 2016.
The other members of the commission were Supreme Court Judge Prasanna Sujeewa Jayawardena and former Deputy Auditor General Veluppillai Kandasamy.
