The Hon. Ananda Wijepala
Hon. Ananda Wijepala responded to Hon. Namal Rajapaksa’s allegation that he had filed numerous corruption cases against him and his family while serving at CIABOC. He clarified that CIABOC acted on complaints received, referred matters to the relevant investigative bodies such as the CID, FCID or Bribery Commission, and that prosecutions were handled by the Attorney-General’s Department, denying any personal or targeted agenda.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Namal Rajapaksa mentioned me by name, saying that as a Director at the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), I filed many cases against them. In fact, CIABOC receives complaints; after police investigations, prosecutions are conducted by the Attorney-General’s Department. We acted on complaints received. If more complaints were received against you, we had to act on them. We did not target Hon. Namal Rajapaksa or his family. Complaints were referred to the CID, FCID and the Bribery Commission as appropriate; then the AG proceeded. The Office did not operate on anyone’s personal agenda.
