Initial investigations on this regard concluded last Friday with the
report expected to reach Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in the next
few days, sources from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) say.
Afterwards, the Prime minister would table the report before Parliament, government sources say.
The committee appointed to probe into the issue comprises of Gamini Pitipana, Mahesh Kalugampitiya and Chandimal Mendis.
The governor of the CBSL - Arjun Mahendran, went on leave and distanced
himself from all operations of the Bank while the probe was being
conducted, a CBSL spokesperson said.
Government sources add that the need for further investigations on the matter will depend on directives of the report.
Although certain ministers had claimed that faith cannot be kept on the
panel appointed by the Prime minister, the panel had given an impartial
decision, the CBSL spokesperson further added.
