The Criminal
Investigation Department (CID) has questioned four persons who allegedly
had the secret poll card stickers in their possession at a print shop,
sources reveal. The investigators who
had a lengthy discussion with the Elections Commissioner regarding the
printing of poll card stickers at a public press last week, said they had
to question several more persons who have allegedly been involved in the
matter. The CID raided a
press in Colombo and detected secret stickers printed for the General
Election on an order placed by the Election Department. Meanwhile, the
Elections Commissioner, Dayananda Dissanayake said that he was “
personally satisfied” with the honesty and integrity of the person who
undertook the printing of the poll card stickers. He also said that it
is the Commissioner’s responsibility “ to adopt whatever legal methods
he thinks fit” to conduct elections in a free and fair manner. He was to
disclose this measure to contesting political parties, independent groups
and to the media at the “appropriate time.”
