The Bond commission has issued a statement that several key voice recordings required for the investigation of the ongoing inquiry into Perpetual Treasuries Ltd, are not available in the recordings submitted by the organization to the commission. 

It has been reported that an investigation into the recordings submitted by Perpetual Treasuries to the Bond commission conducted yesterday (26) revealed the absence of several vital recordings that can be utilized as evidence.   

The Bond commission had ordered that if the data were not available, it would be required that the security code of the system be handed over to the Commission in order to extract the data through an engineer from the private network service provider of Perpetual Treasuries.

It has also been reported that the commission requested all voice recordings of outbound calls taken from the cashier of Perpetual Treasuries be handed over to the commission. A detailed report of the caller, respondent, call duration and time has been requested by the commission.   
  
At the beginning of proceedings yesterday (25), representatives from the Attorney General’s department questioned the CEO of Perpetual Treasuries Kasun Palisena on the sale of Bonds worth Rs. 2 Billion purchased on February 27, 2015 on a secondary market to the Employee Provident Fund. 

The representatives of the AG’s department stated that 04 key recordings related to the attempted sale were not included in the list of recordings provided to the Bond commission.    

Upon being accused of tampering with the absent recordings, Kasun Palisena vehemently denied such allegations and stated that all recordings pertaining to the transaction in question were provided.     

The private network provider of Perpetual Treasuries informed the commission that an engineer from their organization will be provided to help resolve the ambiguous situation.
