Cabinet Approves New Oversight Committee for Easter Attack Recommendations

The Cabinet's recent approval for a new oversight committee to implement recommendations related to the Easter Sunday attacks was based on a proposal submitted by the President in his capacity as the Minister of Defence. The recommendations themselves were originally put forth by the Presidential Commission of Inquiry and the then Sectoral Oversight Committee on National Security.

The Cabinet's recent approval for a new oversight committee to implement recommendations related to the Easter Sunday attacks is a follow-up to a previous Cabinet approval granted on May 17, 2021. The current move aims to establish a structured mechanism to monitor implementation, as a systematic, formal, and sustainable monitoring process was not established after the 2021 decision. The newly approved committee will include an expert in counter-terrorism and national security, along with representatives from relevant ministries and institutions, and will operate under the supervision of the Presidential Secretariat.
