Proposal to establish "Corruption Court" stuck at Cabinet
Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe accused of sabotage
by Zacki Jabbar-August 5, 2017, 7:13 pm
Minister of Health and Co-Government Spokesman Rajitha Senaratne
confirmed on Friday that a Memorandum to create a "Corruption Court",
that would deal exclusively with mega cases had been presented to the
Cabinet of Ministers.
With regard to Deputy Minister of Power and Renewable Energy Ajith P.
Perera having accused Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe of preventing the passage of
the "Corruption Court" proposal, Senaratne said that the people
expected answers.
He emphasized that regardless of any opposition , the Sirisena-
Wickremesinghe government was determined to create a mechanism to
expedite hearing of the big corruption charges.
The masses were critical of lack of sufficient progress, despite
evidence, on the allegations that had been leveled against several
members of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa regime and some leading
Ministers of his government, Senaratne said.
"What you saw on January 8, 2015 was only a change of government. Some
influential persons in the public service are trying to bail out the
Rajapaksa family."
Deputy Minister Ajith P Perera said that a separate Court would not
only be able to hear corruption cases continuously, but also ease the
workload of the other courts.
