The High Court judge said that CIABOC needs a staff of about 1,000 to meet the daunting obligations. The top CIABOC official said that there is provision for initiating investigations on its own or acting on complaints. Questions regarding the CIABOC shouldn’t be directed at ministers under any circumstances, the outspoken High Court judge said, urging political parties to be cautious. All questions should be submitted to the Prime Minister, who should seek answers from the President’s Office and table the answers in parliament,” Dissanayake said.
