Two businessmen have been arrested at Pita Kotte by Bribery Commission officers while accepting a bribe of Rs. 09 million from another businessman.

 

This arrest has been made in Pitakotte, based on a complaint lodged by a resident of the Madiwela area of Kotte, the Bribery Commission said.

 

They had allegedly solicited the bribe on the promise of expediting compensation for a land of the complainant’s relative in Torington Avenue, which was acquired by the Urban Development Authority (UDA), the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) added.

 

Meanwhile, it was reported that the two arrested individuals include former member of Western Provincial Council Sulochana Gamage.
