Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament today that
former central bank governor Arjuna Mahendran had gone to Singapore to attend a
wedding.
Joint opposition
informed Parliament yesterday that Mr. Mahendran had fled the
country and that it was impossible to impound his passport as he was not a Sri
Lankan citizen.
The COPE report
presented in Parliament this morning has held Mr. Mahendran responsible for the
controversial sale of Central Bank bonds.
