Several parliamentary staff officers are scheduled to appear before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) tomorrow (15) to provide statements regarding the inclusion of a doctorate title before the name of Justice Minister Harshana Nanayakkara on the official Parliament website.
Among those summoned are individuals from the Parliament’s House Registry Office, including a senior official, according to reports. This follows earlier summons issued to several individuals, including the Director of Parliament’s Communications Division, to provide statements on the same matter.
Additionally, CID officers previously visited Parliament to record statements from its staff concerning the incident.
A letter received from the House Leader’s Office stated that the inclusion of the doctorate title before Minister Nanayakkara’s name was based on information provided by the House Leader’s Office.
The controversy began when Minister Nanayakkara lodged a complaint with the CID, prompting an investigation into how the doctorate title appeared before his name on the Parliament website.
