Former Minister Keheliya Rambukwella and his son Ramith Rambukwella have been granted bail by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.
The order was issued by Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali after considering submissions made by the Bribery Commission and legal counsel representing the suspects.
The case, filed by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), alleges that Keheliya Rambukwella caused a financial loss of over Rs. 8 million to the state by unlawfully appointing fifteen individuals to his ministerial staff and drawing their salaries and allowances.
