Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe is currently campaigning to be the Common Candidate at the next presidential election, President Ranil Wickremesinghe's Advisor on Parliamentary Affairs, Professor Ashu Marasinghe said.
He said this while addressing a debate on a television channel recently.
While talking about the country's debt situation, he said Sri Lanka had a total debt of Rs. 17,589 billion at the start of this year, which was USD 47 billion.
Professor Marasinghe cited some figures and warned the CB governor not to announce false information about the country's debt situation.
He made a direct accusation that the CB governor was lying over the debt figures.
"However, we need to figure out what sort of lies Nandalal has told in regard to the debts we already have," Marasinghe lashes out. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
