The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has decided to launch an inquiry into a complaint filed by the suspended Deputy Secretary General of Parliament, Chaminda Kularatne.

Kularatne was recently suspended from his post following a decision made by the Parliamentary Staff Advisory Council.

The suspension reportedly stems from complications surrounding the legality of his initial appointment to the parliamentary staff.

In response to his suspension, the Deputy Secretary General filed a formal complaint with the Bribery Commission on the 2nd of this month against Speaker of Parliament, Dr. Jagath Wickramaratne.

The complaint, filed under the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Act, requests a fair and impartial investigation into the Speaker’s conduct and calls for necessary legal action.

The Commission’s decision to move forward with the investigation marks a significant development in the ongoing dispute within the parliamentary administration.
