Sri Lanka's Marxist JVP faults government for failing to investigate allegations highlighted in COPE report

Sri Lanka's Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) today said the government after failing to investigate into alleged fraud and corruption revealed in the report released by the parliamentary Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE), has instead leveled allegations against former Army Commander and DNA Leader Sarath Fonseka on the HiCorp deal
.JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva told a press conference today that the government should investigate into the allegations leveled against ministers in the COPE report in the similar manner in which it has investigated allegations into the HiCorp affair.

Silva said the biggest rouges are with the government.

He then went on to question into the outcome of investigations conducted into several fraudulent activities recently.

He referred to the investigation into the fraud allegedly committed by a government minister in the Mavilaru compensation case and queried as to what happened to the allegations in the COPE report and other frauds.

Meanwhile, DNA parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayake has said that DNA General Secretary Vijitha Herath has briefed several world leaders about the injustices by the government against Fonseka during the Commonwealth Parliamentary Union Summit in Kenya.
