Lakshman Kiriella: Bond scandal assets freeze

Abstract

PARTLY TRUE: The allegation is that the UNP caused a loss of LKR 10 billion through bonds. The country has not experienced a loss because the CBSL froze/impounded LKR 12 billion from Perpetual Treasuries. However, the Rajapaksas by issuing bonds worth LKR 5,600 billion between 2002 and 2015 have caused a significant loss to the country. - Lakshman Kiriella, Lankadeepa, 02 February 2020
