Colombo, July 5 (Daily Mirror) - The Colombo High Court today further extended its order to freeze 16 fixed deposit accounts and three insurance policies belonging to the family members of former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella for three months.

The value of the frozen fixed deposit accounts and insurance policies has been estimated at Rs. 93.125 million.

Accordingly, 16 fixed deposit accounts and three insurance policies belonging to Keheliya’s spouse, three daughters and son-in-law have been frozen for a period of three months.

This is not a big amount in dollar terms. With this amount you won't be able to buy a house even in the far outskirts of Sydney Australia. What about his foreign accounts elsewhere, need to find out.

Revenge time guys. Look who is behind it. Next it will be Harak Weerasekara. What about the 25 crore usd in Sarath Fonsekas bank account. Investigate that too. How can a government officer earn or get that much in usd.

Keheliya has made not millions he made billions . Look at thee way he treated his children depositing millions in their accounts.How has he got so much of money. He allowed his only brother to earn millions through contracts in ministries he had served as the minister. A grade rouge who uses his language skills to enhance his wealth and also bring injection with water instead of medicine to earn a hefty some. Hope he will be put to prison for man slaughter and making people blind.

Good decision. I wish if the BC issue notices on all MPs to declare to BC their assets and the Bank account details. The declaration to include assets Bank accounts deposit etc of the spouse, children and grand children as at 31 March 2024 end of the tax year. Many politicians are likely to withdraw and reinvest their liquid assets having witnessed what happened to Keheliya

Why only for three months. This is all the stolen monies from the health department and should be re embused to them.
