Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Education under the parliamentary Sectoral Oversight Committee on Education and Human Resources Development, Ashu Marasinghe yesterday called for a forensic audit on the Batticaloa Campus.<\/p>\n
He told a news conference that a forensic audit was essential to obtain more details on the illegal transactions, which the campus had been involved in.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should not be construed as something that concerns the Muslims. Some politicians are trying to paint a wrong picture and are giving it a communal overtone. The issue here are about offences committed by a politician using his influence and power. We urge the government and the Cabinet not to arrive at any conclusion before a proper investigation is carried out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sectoral Oversight Committee functions as an independent body. I don\u2019t work in the committee as a UNPer,\u201d the MP said. \u201cIt was revealed that the campus has been constructed on eight acres of encroached land. Can a Governor encroach land? We presented the report on the Batticaloa Campus to Parliament on June 21, 2019. We also asked for a debate on the campus and we expect a decision will be made next week.”<\/p>\n
He said a report had been submitted to the Cabinet and have been informed that a Cabinet subcommittee had been appointed and that its decision would be known in about two weeks.<\/p>\n
The report which was a topic for public discussion had made 15 recommendations on the Batticaloa campus on of which was that it should be acquired by the Government under emergency regulations.<\/p>\n
