State Intelligence chief gives 4-hour statement to PSC in secret

State Intelligence Service (SIS) chief Senior DIG Nilantha Jayawarden has reportedly given a 4-hour long statement to the Parliamentary Select Committee probing the Easter Sunday attacks, at a separate undisclosed location last night.

 

Deputy Speaker Ananda Kumarasiri stated that the special select committee recorded evidence until around 11.30 p.m. last night (24).

 

However, he said the proceeding was not open to the media and that the recording of evidence was carried out at a secret location, which was also not disclosed.

Meanwhile the Parliamentary Select Committee is scheduled to convene once again at 10.00 a.m. today (25).

 

Police Special Task Force (STF) Commandant, Senior DIG M. R. Latheef, former IGP N.K. Illangakoon and former Secretary to the Ministry of Law & Order Padmasiri Jayamanne are to appear before the panel today.
