Investigation Commission informed Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali yesterday (5) that steps are being taken to arrest and produce several former ministers in connection with the incident where they allegedly caused a loss of six and nine million US dollars (6.09) to the government by instructing to open suspended letters of credit relating to a stock of substandard organic fertilizer imported into the country from a Chinese company four years ago (2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the case related to the incident was recalled before the court yesterday, the investigating officers informed the court of this while submitting a further report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigating officers also informed the court that information has been revealed that the suspect former secretary, who is currently in remand custody in connection with this incident, had issued letters of credit to import the fertilizer after learning that it was not suitable for use in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigating officers told the court that the investigations revealed that these officials had been playing with the money of innocent people and that some people who claim to be educated were using their education to engage in such frauds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigating officers also informed the court that investigations are underway to arrest several former ministers in connection with this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigating officers also requested the court to further remand Mahesh Gammanpila, a former Additional Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, who was arrested in connection with the incident and is currently in remand custody, as granting bail could hinder the investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Mahesh Gammanpila was granted bail yesterday, but was remanded again due to his inability to meet the bail conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0d9a\u0dd4\u0dab\u0dd4 \u0db4\u0ddc\u0dc4\u0ddc\u0dbb \u0db1\u0dd0\u0dc0\u0dda
