Court releases Rambukwella from corruption case

The Colombo Magistrate’s Court yesterday released State Minister of Investment Promotion and Government Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella and former State Printing Corporation Chairman Jayampathi Bandara Heenkenda from a case filed by the Commission to investigate Allegations of Bribery and Corruption (CIABOC).

Rambukwella and Heenkenda were accused of misusing Rs. 230,000 from the State, incurring a loss to the organisation to pay a private mobile phone bill. 

The Court ruled that the case had been filed without the consent of CIABOC and last month closed the bribery case against Rambukwella and Heenkenda.
