The issue was taken up during a meeting of the Committee on Public Finance held on June 8, where members reviewed the findings of the Treasury report concerning the missing funds.
Speaking after the meeting, Dr. Harsha de Silva stated that the report points to accountability on the part of the Central Bank in relation to the incident. As a result, the committee has requested the CBSL to submit its official position on the findings.
According to Dr. de Silva, the Central Bank has been given one week to provide an explanation and respond to the allegations contained in the Treasury report.
The Committee on Public Finance is expected to examine the CBSL’s response before determining any further action regarding the matter.
