Bribery Commission Started An Inquiry Into CJ’s Assets, But Declined To Name The Complainant
“The Commission to
Investigate Bribery or Corruption has started an inquiry into the assets
acquired by Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake whilst a foreign travel ban has
been imposed at its request on her husband Pradeepa Kariyawasam, who was the
former Chairman of the National Savings Bank (NSB).” The Sunday
Times reports.
According
to the newspaper, a Commission official said she would be issued a “show cause
notice” and further inquiries would proceed only thereafter. One of the charges
is “not declaring in the annual declaration of assets and liabilities that
should be submitted by a judicial officer the details of more than twenty bank
accounts maintained in various banks including nine accounts” in the National
Development Bank (NDB),
The Sunday Times said.
