Former Director General of the Urban Development Authority (UDA) Sumedha Ratnayake and former Director (Lands) of the UDA Weerawansa Perera have been arrested over alleged financial misappropriation of state funds.

 

The duo has been arrested by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) at around 9:30 a.m. this morning (11). 

 

According to investigations by the Bribery Commission, a 55.5-perch plot of UDA-owned land located at Mayura Place, Colombo 05, had been leased out on a temporary rental basis, resulting in a financial loss of over Rs. 29.5 million to the UDA.

 

They are alleged to have committed an offence of corruption in connection with the land transaction, the Bribery Commission stated.

 

The arrested individuals are scheduled to be produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court.
