This week in Sri Lanka
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa appeared before the Bribery Commission concerning the Airbus deal, an investigation that authorities confirmed will proceed despite a key figure's death. Amidst this, a parliamentary committee is set to question lawyer Nagananda Kodituwakku, and a finance committee report on a treasury heist drew criticism for allegedly shifting blame. The government, however, pledged to bring wealth to the people through economic democratization, while also dealing with flood warnings and ongoing railway line restoration.
