Minister Bimal Ratnayake has been accused by Parliamentarian Dayasiri Jayasekara of authorizing the release of 323 containers without customs inspection, in what the MP claims is the largest corruption incident under the current government.
Speaking at a press conference in Colombo, Jayasekara stated that there is no information available regarding the fate of these released containers. He alleged that when information was requested, only the countries of origin were provided, and no relevant customs documentation was furnished. According to Jayasekara, customs officials have refused to provide further details, citing privacy concerns.
The Parliamentarian further announced that he is considering taking legal action to obtain the necessary information.
