Sri Lanka’s Presidential Commission of Inquiry has summoned for hearing in relation to alleged treasury bond scams that saw billions of rupees swindled from public funds.
The commission ordered the former Finance Minister and current Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake to attend a hearing on Monday.
Mr Karunanayake informed the commission he was unable to attend the summons on short notice due to official duties.
The summons comes after President Maithripala Sirisena extended the time period of the commission and extended the deadline for a final investigative report to be submitted in October.
