Senior Additional Solicitor General Dappula de Livera, who investigated the Central Bank bond scam along with others, had been sidelined from initiating legal action based on recommendations by the Presidential Commission regarding the fraud, sources said.

Despite him being the senior-most-official in the Criminal Division of the Attorney General’s Department, he had not been assigned to the task of proceeding with legal action as recommended by the Commission in its report, the source said.

Instead, Additional Solicitor General Murdu Fernando, who is attached to the Civil Division, has been assigned to it.

Alongside, President’s Counsel Yasantha Kodagoda and Priyantha Napana and others who played a major role in the investigation of the bond scam through the Presidential Commission, have been sidelined from instituting legal action against the frauds mentioned in the report, the source said.

Isn’t that a good decision in the best interest of avoiding conflict of interest

That is a good decision to be fair by all the parties.

Excellent decision to avoid personal revenge/hatred and conflict of interest. Dappula and his team shouldn’t be upset on this, but should be proud of getting 100% results out of this scam.

Haa haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

He and his team did a great job cross examining the perpetrators and others. The Report is what it is because of them. However they cannot become the judge, jury and executioner - that is not justice.

DG Monday, 22 January 2018 03:52 PM

There is no conflict of interest, he and others in the team knows everything by heart while others have to start from the kindergarten and spend lot of time. Is there a Time Limit given to the new team??

Senewi Monday, 22 January 2018 04:26 PM

We can predict the outcome .

Lokka Monday, 22 January 2018 05:51 PM

Remember Dappula was warned by Judges for his unacceptable behaviour during the Commision sittings. Therefore this decision is perfectly correct.

Upul Monday, 22 January 2018 07:08 PM

Another desperate attempt to sweep this crime under the carpet. Any idiot can see it the way the things are being arranged.
