That is how it should be when the last government appointed Raththaran to chair COPE was such a drastic slap on parliamentary practice and even ruining public trust in the system.

Great news that real democracy will prevail and checks and balances on government spending will be truly monitored unlike earlier government MPs used to cover up the rogues. Remember Chairman Ranjith Perera of 'finger on the lips' to cover up Cricket Board.

Isn’t it a waste of time where there has been no outcome? Have they been able to catch one crook ?

Good governance but is there anyone in the opposition to do this job. Harsha was there before but he was un utter failure who did not allow others to talk or who could not control others if they start to talk. He was wasting everyone's time by pointing out petty things.

This is not the first time it happened. During My3 time COPA was headed by Opposition ( Handunnetti was Chairmen of COPA and how is been accused of hiding most of the "Bonda Scam"). For all the GenZ who thinks they know all, During CB K era 1995 COPA was Chaired by Opposition. If you don't know Google it. AKD is not the only person who allowed opposition to chair COPA.
