Halt in PRECIFAC probe on parliament affairs?

 Apr 18, 2017

It has been reported that the former Secretary to the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into Serious Acts of Fraud and Corruption (PRECIFAC), Lacille de Silva has made inquiries into the reasons why investigations conducted by the Commission regarding allegations of fraud and corruption in Parliament, seem to have halted.

The former Secretary is said to have made an official request to the present Secretary H.W. Gunadasa under the Right to Information Act (RTI).
From time to time the Commission was said to receive complaints from the Parliamentary Food Department and Engineering Department. Complaints regarding miscellaneous purchases, installation of sound control machines in committee rooms, call for proposals from time to time for the installation of security systems and expenses incurred on Parliamentary restructuring were also said to be among some of the complaints received according to de Silva.
