The Ministry of Prison Reforms and Rehabilitation said yesterday that it would request the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to investigate the former Acting Chief Medical Officer (ACMO) of the Welikada Prison Hospital, Nirmalie Thenuwara.

Speaking to Daily Mirror, a top ministry official said the Prisons Department had already launched a separate investigation into the allegations levelled against the former ACMO.

Nirmalie Thenuwara is also being investigated by the Health Ministry and the minister had instructed the Health Services Director General to submit a report to the CID with regard to this.

Allegations were levelled against Ms. Thenuwara by several politicians and civil organisations for allegedly granting undue privileges to prison inmates. She had been transferred to the Colombo National Hospital on September 18 under a directive issued by Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

    Having conducted the criminal investigation and if she find guilty,she should be imprisoned. She can occupy one of the vacant cells of the inmates who bailed out very recently.

    Her bank account also must be scrutinized during investigation

    Its pretty clear she has been very supportive for some selected crowd such as politicians, high class or rich suspects. Please do an investigation and find out the truth.

    For god sake ... if so expedite ... don't start investigating after she erase her phone records or destroying other evidence ... this is famous in SL now

    Things of this nature must be given an end. This person apparently has been a power unto her self so lets teach her a lesson.

    Dr.Thenuwara, do not worry. Think of the JO members to whom you have given comfortable time in prison hospital bed on a wrong medical certificate.You have been more powerful than the judge proven by changing the sentence given by him. Pl.talk to Bandula Gunawardena who will make arrangements to settle any financial liabilities you got to face in the future when finding guilty.
