A three-member committee has been appointed by President Ranil Wickremesinghe to conduct an Investigation immediately into the bribery allegation against former minister Nimal Siripala de Silva and to submit a report.

The President's Media Division said the committee was appointed paying attention to the request made by former Minister Silva to conduct an impartial inquiry into the matter raised by the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament based on the news published in the social, print and electronic media that a Cabinet Minister had demanded a bribe from Japan's Taisei Corporation.

The Committee headed by Retired High Court Judge and President's Counsel Kusala Sarojini Weerawardena comprises Retired Senior DIGs of Police S. M. Wickremasinghe, a Retired Special Grade Officer of Sri Lanka Administrative Service S.M.G.K. Perera.

The President has told the Committee to submit the investigation report to him before July 31.

Either he appoints a committee or not, it is clear that you robbed the public property. What a lot of commission you made saying developing Badulla.

Hay 4 footer Siripala, you looted max. during MR's period and was trying to get in to RW's cabinet to loot again. Be careful we will give you time till 9th next month, run and hide before that.

Great, Sir, Sart with punishing thieves. You can win the hearts of the people if you do what people are struggling for. Amend the Constitution to stop the looting of state money and property. This is the last chance you have to make your lost name.
