Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe to testify before Bribery Commission over Uva Province allegations

Date:

April 28, Colombo (LNW): Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe is expected to present himself before the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) this morning (28) at 9.30 a.m., in connection with a corruption inquiry linked to his time in office.

The summons relates to an alleged incident of financial misconduct that took place during the administration of former Uva Province Chief Minister, Chamara Sampath Dassanayake, who is currently in remand custody.

The inquiry aims to determine the extent of involvement or oversight during the period in question, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding alleged irregularities in provincial governance.

Wickremesinghe had originally been requested to appear before the Commission on April 17. However, due to prior commitments, he notified CIABOC of his inability to attend on that date, leading to a rescheduled appearance today.
