MP Ravi Karunanayake, who was summoned to the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) to record a statement, has been arrested.
He was reportedly arrested after a statement was recorded from him. The arrests are in connection with an investigation into allegations that five individuals were recruited to the National Lotteries Board on a contract basis, outside of the approved recruitment procedures, and later attached to the personal staff of the former minister.
