Mr. President, you did not risk everything to become a party to an exercise in obfuscation from the unholy past. Please bring forward your national government governance policies by including an SLFP nominee in the committee. There is no need to start investigations from Day 1. Terms of reference should be made public. They should include reasons as to why the Public Debt Tender Board could not have foreseen the adverse movement in interest rates. Was this due to ignorance or was it taken as an opportunity to embarrass the UNP Government? The latest disclosures in the Financial Times suggest, prima facie, I stress, prima facie, there could have been a transfer of insider information. Selvaratnam Colombo
