A case filed against former Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa and former Director General of Divi Neguma Department Kithsiri Ranawaka for allegedly misappropriating funds belonging to the Divi Neguma Department was fixed for June, 2018.

The case was taken up before High Court Judge A. A. R. Heiyanthuduwa today.

The Attorney General had filed indictments against them on charges of purchasing GI pipes from funds belonging to the Department and distributing the pipes to Local government bodies during the previous presidential election. (Farook Thajudeen)

A separate court needs to be set up urgently to expedite hearing corruption and financial fraud cases, so that these buffoons do not roam freely!

These cases should have been finished and the culprit/s must have been locked in prison long time back. President, the people voted against you because of these delays.
