The Colombo Magistrate's Court today released State Minister of Investment Promotion Keheliya Rambukwella and former Chairman of the State Printing Corporation Jayampathi Bandara Heenkenda from the bribery case filed by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC).
Last month, the Colombo High Court closed the bribery case against Rambukwella and Heenkenda.
The duo were accused of using Rs. 230,000 of the State Printing Corporation money between March 15, 2012 and April 14, 2012 to pay Rambukwella’s personal mobile phone bill incurring losses to the Government which was in office prior to 2015. The Colombo High Court today ruled that the case had been filed without the consent of the CIABOC.
