This is the level of corruption in sl. Country where ministers,government officials,officers related to legal fields are famous for accepting bribes and top level corruption. Still imf jokers funding this government without forcing government to minimize these kinds of corruption.

Very good move There are many brokers also dominating CEA with the help of few staff there. Even honest staffs are not allowed to freely do their duties

This is not the first time this Chairmen has accepted bribe. Generally the CEA is famous for bribe. They have been maintaining this tradition for a long time. Any project where approval is needed from CEA there is no way any investor or developer can get a clearance without bribe . Most of the senior officials and chairmen accept bribes. It's an open secarat.

Who is Pathirage - is he a government officer or Political appointee of the Minister. If the latter then there is more to inquire.

This was expected with Rambukwella the crook being appointed Environment Minister. BC is sure to frame charges leaving room for objections by defence in this open and shut case

Officials of all authorities who have the power to grant a license always do so only after accepting bribes. This is evident form the luxury life they lead.

Now who appointed him to this high post? The ministerial power or the executive power?

This calls for a 4th floor hours of daily grilling until he spits out all details of his request for a bribe and who else was to benefit. I cannot believe how the country has been dragged down by several persons and not a single case has been brought to the COURTS. I see NO light at the end of the tunnel for the country, until all dishonest individuals are brought before a COURT OF LAW and a INDEPENDENT BODY with NO political interference is set up to investigate each and EVERY allegation that has been brought to light in the previous decade of the Rajapaske led government.

Some time back an Australian investor accused the then minister of environment in Gota's govt., demanding Rs.300M as bribe to provide environmental clearance report. What happened to that investigation?

Later, they will be acquitted and freed. Technical faults by public prosecutors will be the reason. A well known drama.
