Fine-tuning being done: Committee MemberThe six-member Ministerial Committee appointed to study the reports of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) into the Easter Sunday terror attacks and the Parliamentary Sectoral Oversight Committee (SOC) on National Security will hand over its final report to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa this week. Committee Member and Co-Cabinet Spokesman Dr. Ramesh Pathirana said that the date on which the report will be submitted to the President will be decided by the Committee Chairman Minister Chamal Rajapaksa. The Committee was appointed by the President to study the recommendations in the two said reports and to hand over a final report on 15 March. However, the Committee sought an extension of two weeks to hand over its final report, citing the sensitivity and complexity of the content of the reports. Other committee members include Ministers Johnston Fernando, Co-Cabinet Spokesman Udaya Gammanpila, and Ministers Prasanna Ranatunga, and Rohitha Abeygunawardena.
