A Parliament Select Committee (PSC) will be appointed by President Ranil Wickremesinghe to find out why Sri Lanka slipped into default and those responsible for it, UNP MP Vajira Abeywardena said.
He said that it would be done after Parliament Committees are appointed.
The MP said Wickremesinghe has stressed that defaulting on debt should not be somebody’s arbitrary decision, but should have followed the Articles 148, 149, 150 and 151 of the Constitution. “If the due procedure had not been followed, it is the responsibility of Parliament to reveal who was behind it. It must be investigated whether they acted on an agenda of another country,” he said.
The MP added that Wickremesinghe can usher in the system change that the people demand.
