During the Committee Stage debate on the Foreign Ministry’s expenditure head, SJB MP Dr. Harsha de Silva criticised the NPP government for its handling of governance.
The core issue was the failure to credibly implement the four-pillar structure promised to the world: Truth, Justice, Accountability, Reparations, and Non-Recurrence, he said, That failure was evident in the makeup of the proposed agencies, the former Deputy Foreign Minister said, referring to the recent criticism leveled at the government for appointing three out of five members from the security sector to the proposed Reparations Committee.
He said: “This imbalance undermines confidence and cannot work. The government ought to ensure that these promised agencies are established and implemented with genuine credibility to finally resolve these long-standing national problems.”
