PRECIFAC findings have silenced many politicians – President
President Maithripala Sirisena says some politicians who made a big noise, demanding an early parliamentary debate on the Commission of Inquiry Report into Treasury Bond Issues in 2015 and 2016, have become silent, after the Commission of Inquiry into Serious Acts of Fraud Corruption and Abuse of Power (PRECIFAC), released its findings recently.
The PRECIFAC Report contained some serious accusations against certain vociferous politicians, who having obviously got to know about it, had gone into a shell, the President told a Local Government Elections Campaign meeting in Ratnapura recently. “They are now unusually silent.”The President said that he was willing to form an SLFP-led government, if all UPFA parliamentarians supported him.
The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna headed by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa was propagating a lot of lies to destroy the SLFP, but that would not happen, as long as he was leader, Srisena emphasised.
He said that his critics in the UPFA would see change for the better, if they backed him.

Serious Acts of Fraud Corruption? So arrest them and bring them to justice. You promised before you come to power you will close all airports and seaports to stop all these rogues get away with these crimes (even few weeks later you denied saying that) but so far nothing has happened. What we want is action. So bring them to justice, confiscate all there wealth, put them in prison with hard labor, and throw the key away,
I had enough of these meaningless accusations. We need action.
