The special committee appointed to investigate and provide recommendations regarding the release of 323 disputed containers from Customs convened yesterday (13) in Parliament.

Minister of Justice Harshana Nanayakkara chaired the session.

The meeting grew tense as heated debates broke out between government and opposition members while Nagananda Kodituwakku, General Secretary of Vinivida Peramuna, provided testimony.

This special parliamentary committee received its mandate to conduct a thorough investigation following the tabling of a previous report by a five-member Ministry of Finance committee that initially looked into the matter.
