The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday recorded a five-hour statement from former Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera over a case of transporting voters during the Presidential Election conducted last year.  

 

He had authorized to provide 22 buses for the transportation of 12,500 internally displaced Muslims from Puttlam to Mannar to vote at the presidential polls.   Two weeks ago the CID recorded a statement from former Minister Rishad Bathiudeen over the same case.
