Ministerial Committee To Hand Over Report On PCOI Recommendations Over Easter Sunday Attacks To President On March 15

The report of the "miniterial committee" examining the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCOI) report on Easter Sunday attacks will be handed over to the President on March 15.

The committee is headed by State Minister Chamal Rajapaksa while Ministers Rohitha Abeygunawardena, Prasanna Ranatuga, Johnston Fernando, Udaya Gammapila and Ramesh Pathirana serve as members.

They are expected to study the report and make recommendations to the government on the way forward. Colombo Archbishop Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith slammed the appointment of a ministerial committee to study the report saying some of these members do not even have their O/Levels.

Meanwhile, several MPs of the government have already expressed critical remarks over the recommendations of the commission. State Miniser Jayantha Samaraweera, a stalwart of the National Freedom Front, said the PCOI report on Easter Sunday attacks was "incomplete".
