Furthermore, during the investigation, it was revealed that there were several other instances of corruption during the tenure of the former chairman, including the discovery that he was constructing a house in the Kandy area.
An official from the Bribery and Corruption Commission, when contacted, confirmed that the investigation is in its final stages and that legal action is being prepared against the former chairman and his sister, with a report to be submitted to the court in the coming weeks.
