Ranil says CB bond issue is no more in his hands
15 Dec, 2016
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says the Central Bank bond issue is more in his hands as all the documents have been given to the Attorney General.
Wickremesinghe told The Hindu newspaper in an interview published today that he was the first person who?initiated an internal inquiry on the alleged scam.
“I am the one who first initiated an internal inquiry; they gave the report; I gave it to the Parliament. And even in the new Parliament, I allowed the Committee on Public Enterprises to go ahead. The chairman was a member of the JVP ? ?we all supported him, still support him. And they have made their recommendations; it?s unanimous, the recommendations for further inquiry. There are different views on the rationale or the reasoning, but it shows the parliamentary system is working. And I have submitted all the papers to the Attorney General, so that?s no longer within my purview,” the Prime Minister said. (Colombo Gazette)
