Former Minister Harin Fernando appeared before the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption today. This is due to an ongoing investigation into a land deal.
According to the Bribery Commission, he told reporters after giving his statement related to the investigation.
“They asked me about a land deal that started before I held the position of Minister of Lands. I told them what I knew about it. It was a decision approved by the LRC Board on March 26, 2021.”
The land deal under investigation is said to have started during the tenure of former Minister of Lands S.M. Chandrasena.
