Former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella and several co-defendants indicted over the alleged misappropriation of government funds in the purchase of substandard medicines were released on bail by the Colombo High Court today.

A three-judge bench ordered that each accused be granted bail on a cash deposit of Rs. 500,000 and two surety bonds of Rs. 5 million. The court also imposed a foreign travel ban and directed them to surrender their passports.

The indictments against Rambukwella and the others were formally presented before the bench earlier in the day. Deputy Solicitor General Lakmini Girihagama informed court that the Attorney General opposed granting bail to the accused.

When the Attorney General has opposed bail To these culprits, Why was bail given? We common people can't understand! These culprits have committed crime against Humanity.

Common people retain lawyers because they do not understand legal principles or have any idea as to how the law works. Get some legal advice from a lawyer if you want to know as to why bail was granted despite the AG objecting. Then you would understand.

When he or his family members get sick, the money he earned won’t help but now it seems the medicine he imported won’t help too.
