WB Writes To Ranil On Bond Issue
by Sujith Mangala de Silva
The World Bank has written to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe giving its opinion on the Central Bank bond issue.
Sources said that the World Bank had given its opinion after the Prime Minister wrote to the bank seeking its input.
The World Bank was of the opinion that the government has not suffered any losses as a result of the bond issue. Wickremesinghe had submitted to the World Bank all details pertaining to Treasury bond transactions in Sri Lanka. The World Bank had praised the government on the actions taken to control debt and its tax reforms proposals.
President Maithripala Sirisena had on Friday appointed a three member commission to investigate the Central Bank treasury bond issue.
The President’s office said that the commission comprises of Supreme Court Judge K.T. Chithrasiri, P.S. Jayawardena and Retired Deputy Auditor General K. Velupillai.
The President had said that the commission will complete the investigations in three months. Parliament last week debated the report by the Parliament Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) on the alleged bond scam. Last November the President said a judicial process must be launched into the Central Bank bond scam.
The President said that an independent investigation must be held on the allegations.
Set a thief to catch a thief. What a comedy of errors.
If the World Bank states that there is no loss and if our COPE cannot bring any evidence to establish that other central banks do otherwise can a Presidential commission produc evidence that there is a big fraud in the bond issue
publish the world bank document please

Why. Is. the. whole. country. wasting. the time. making. such a big. fuss. when. the
World Bank. has. made. a honest and. genuine. verdict ???
They would have formed another world bank in another country and written to it. The new world bank which is formed by these stooges would have written hat there was no problem in the Bond issue.
The world Bank which we know will never write such letter as this is not a function that they normally carry out.
These guys are cheating people every way it is possible.
