An immediate probe should be undertaken into Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa or the Ministry itself in the event that Wimal Weerawansa made a ‘very serious’ comment about him, said Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Mujibur Rahuman, speaking to media in Colombo today (05).
Basil Rajapaksa being called a ‘thief’ by none other than those who coexist with him in the government would be a serious situation, the MP pointed out, adding that the President, therefore, should be ordering the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) to launch a probe into the Finance Minister and his Ministry.
Reminding that the allegations levelled by Weerawansa today had previously been levelled by the SJB only to meet no attention, Rahuman pointed out that the government ministers themselves are raising these concerns today.
