The General Manager of Lanka Salt Limited, Rathnayaka Mudiyanselage Gunarathna, has been granted bail by the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court.
He was arrested today (19) by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) and later produced before the court.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama ordered the suspect to be released on two personal bail bonds of Rs. 5 million each. The court also imposed an overseas travel ban on the suspect and ordered him to surrender his passport, said Ada Derana reporter.
The arrest was made over allegations that he caused a loss of approximately Rs. 14.3 million to the government and provided an undue advantage to a supplier company by procuring “Laklunu” packaging for the Hambantota Salt Company through a re-order process without following the proper procurement procedures.
