The parliamentary debate on the controversial bond sale will be held today (24).

Former CBSL Governor Arjuna Mahendran was in the spotlight due to the controversy surrounding a Treasury bond issue by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). There had been rising concerns in bond markets over controversial deals made by Perpetual Treasuries, a firm connected to Arjun Aloysius, the son-in-law of Governor Arjuna Mahendran.

In March, 2016, the President also appointed a three-member committee to investigate alleged irregularities surrounding the bond issue.
