The Bribery Commission today (19) arrested the current General Manager of Lanka Salt Company, Rathnayaka Mudiyanselage Gunaratne, over allegations of corruption linked to an improperly procured salt packaging order.
According to the Bribery Commission, the arrest was made in connection with an ongoing investigation into claims that the re‑order, carried out without a proper procurement process, caused a loss of approximately Rs. 14.3 million to the government and conferred undue advantage to the supplying company.
The suspect is scheduled to be produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court. (Newswire)
