The main opposition United National Party (UNP) today commended the Bribery Commission for its courage in initiating action against former National Savings Bank Chairman Pradeep Kariyawasam over the NSB-The Finance Company deal.
The UNP also urged the authorities to take relevant action against those who manipulated the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) as well.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror UNP MP and economist Harsha De Silva said the authorities should look into the entire gamut of fraudulent transactions.
“This should not be a one off thing, they must look at everyone in the group because obviously the chairman could not have clapped with one hand in this particular deal,” he said.
Dr. De Silva went on to say that the EPF issue is a much bigger issue for which the wrongdoers should be brought to the book.
“I believe that the EPF issue is a much bigger issue than the NSB deal. I don’t want to use the word ‘witchhunt’ yet because this (initiation of action) can be just the beginning; I hope they will look at the other cases and other people as well.” (Hafeel Farisz)
