UNP MP Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe has alleged that the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABC) from its inception accommodated retired and a selected few to have comfort and enjoy special privileges at public expense.
The former Chairman of the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) MP Rajapakshe, in a letter dated July 11, urged his successor, senior Minister Dew Gunasekera to examine the status of investigations undertaken by the Bribery Commission during Rajapakshe’s tenure as the head of the parliamentary watchdog.
Rajapakshe alleged that the commission had failed to bring the investigations to a successful conclusion though investigations began in 2007.
