AG to act on 80 major corruption cases soon – PM
14 August 2017 07:53 am - 18 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday vowed that the Attorney General would initiate action against more than 80 high profiled persons, including politicians, who have been charged with corruption.
Prime Minister Wickremesinghe came out with this information when a group of people approached him outside the Dalada Maligawa, when he was coming out after attending religious ceremonies at the historic temple.
Religious programmes were held at the Dalada Maligawa to mark the 40th anniversary of him becoming an MP.
The people who approached him questioned as when action would be taken against those who had been charged with corruption.
“More than 80 investigations on corruption have been completed and had been handed over to the Attorney General and he will take appropriate action in due course," the Premier told the people.
Earlier, he pledged that development work in the hill capital including the constitution of Central Highway would be expedited.
He said the project would be partly funded by the Sri Lankan Government, Japan and China.
Further, he told the Most Venerable Maha Nayake Theras of the Asgiriya and Malwatthu Chapters that the Government would undertake the renovation of Golden Canopy of Dalada Maligawa.
He pledged to renovate the Golden Canopy, which was constructed during the era of late President Ranasinghe Premadasa.
The Most Venerable Anu Nayake Thera, who held an Anusasana said the Buddhist clergy trusted that the Government would not do any harm to Buddhism. (Yohan Perera and J A L Jayasinghe)

Why the government will pay the renovation of the Golden Canopy? The Dalada Maligawa earns millions from tourists and locals, that all renovations could be paid by the temple. Where is all that money going?

The culprits in the AG dept. will lose the files and also theoriginal documents.We have to wait and see how far it is possible

Time to ban politicians from visiting Dalada Maligawa. It is an insult to the image of the highest place of Buddhist worship to have these scoundrels pouring forth hatred from their evil gobs in front of such a sacred place. Journalists please take note you should have the decency not to report on these occasions.

How can you lie so much after just coming out of the temple after worshiping. I guess only politicians can do that
