The Presidential Secretariat has handed over the report to the Attorney General following a directive from President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the President’s Media Division said.
The report, originally compiled over 25 years ago, was tabled in Parliament recently. The Government has taken a decision to take necessary action and as a result, actions have been initiated to hand over the report to the Attorney General’s Department today (29), the PMD communiqué noted.
The report was presented to Parliament on 14 March by the Leader of the House, Minister Bimal Ratnayake.
