Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya assured the public that former President Ranil Wickremesinghe will be summoned to provide evidence regarding the 2015 Central Bank bond scam.

Speaking at a National People’s Power (NPP) public rally, Dr. Amarasuriya confirmed that the NPP-led government is committed to taking legal action against all individuals involved in the misappropriation of public funds.

Addressing Wickremesinghe’s recent remarks, Dr. Amarasuriya commented: “Ranil Wickremesinghe claimed that I lack understanding of the Constitution and offered to teach me. Should I attend his lessons? He’s been rejected by the people 17 times but still refuses to step down. The sovereignty of the people is central to the Constitution—a concept he seems to overlook.”

She continued, “If he understood this, he wouldn’t have postponed elections, disregarded the Constitutional Council’s decisions, or influenced the judiciary for favourable outcomes. Perhaps he should grasp these basic principles before offering to instruct me.”

“The people have given us a clear mandate, and we are fulfilling it. Under no circumstances will we seek advice from Ranil Wickremesinghe. We have no need for counsel from individuals implicated in the Central Bank scam. Legal action will target not only those involved in the bond scam but all who have misused public funds,” she asserted.
