Colombo, Nov. 29 (Daily Mirror)- The Ministry of Finance clarified that CID officials, during their visit to the Treasury on November 27 and 28, had obtained statements from the Director of the Department of Development Finance and the Deputy Director of the Department of Public Finance on the procurement of human immunoglobulin drugs and the process followed in utilizing funds from the Indian Line of Credit.
Contrary to some media reports, the Ministry asserted that no Treasury officials had visited the CID headquarters. Instead, they had cooperated solely to assist the CID in understanding the correct procedures for procurement and fund utilization.

Mmmm like the Organic Fertilizer Scam loot. It was passed in parliament but no one is answerable to it. But all have to pay for the loot.

CID is wasting time. They must question the Minister, Ministry Secretary and the other top people in the health Ministry. As usual the Minister would have acted smartly protecting himself. Check the Bank accounts /assets of all these people and question them. Very likely they will fail to provide a reasonable explanation on their assets
