SPEAKER ASKS CID TO PROBE FAKE LETTERS

We need to find out who is behind this scam

Speaker Karu Jayasuriya said yesterday he had asked the CID to investigate the fake letters that have been sent with what appears to be his signature.

He said this in response to a question asked by UNP MP S.M. Marikkar.

“We have asked the CID to carry out an investigation on fake letters in order to determine as to who was behind them,” the Speaker said.

UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake then asked Speaker as whom he suspects might be behind the move.

Speaker said he cannot arrive at any conclusions till the investigations were completed However he said it has been confirmed that no one in Parliament was behind it.

Government MPS walked out of Parliament yesterday in protest against the composition of the Committee of Selection while raising questions on the number of representatives allocated to each party.
