Education Minister Bandula Gunawardene said today he would complain to the CID over a false allegation made by a Ruhunu University Professor that he had provided an answer to a question in the A/L Economics Administration Paper held in 2012.

When asked at a news conference whether he had sent a fax message to the Examinations Department giving the answer to a question in the A/L Economics Administration Paper and whether a department official had taken the fax message to a leading Colombo school as alleged by the Ruhunu University Professor, the minister said he had not sent any fax messages during the past four years.

“It is a false allegation. I have never sent a fax in the past four years. I will complain to the CID if the professor does not prove his allegation. There should be some hidden force behind this because he is making the allegation after several years. I request the CID and the IGP to conduct a full investigation,” he said.(Ajith Siriwardana & Sanath Desmond)
