Presidency is used to shut down FCID- VAC
.
The
Executive Presidency was used to put an end to the Police Financial
Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) and the Commission to Investigate
Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), Convener of the Voice
against Corruption Movement (VAC) Wasantha Samarasinghe said yesterday.
Addressing a news briefing, he pointed out that both the Prime Minister
and the President were jointly attempting to put a stop to
investigations carried out by the two agencies by weakening the FCID and
the Bribery Commission.
"Although there are thousands of complaints lodged with the FCID, only
450 cases are being investigated at present. I don’t understand for what
benefit these pair are trying to postpone these investigations," he
said.
He boasted that their movement has been extremely vocal on this issue.
Hence, he said they had organized two seminars to educate the general
public about the corrupt taking place within the government which was
voted in under the disguise of bringing about 'Good Governance'.
"We urge the government to carry out transparent inquiries to identify
and arrest all the wrong-doers not taking into account their importance
or standing in society," he added. ( By Sheain Fernandopulle)
