A timekeeping officer attached to the Gampaha Regional Office of the Road Passenger Transport Authority has been arrested on allegations of soliciting and accepting a bribe of Rs. 100.

The suspect was arrested yesterday (20) at around 12.25 p.m. inside his office booth at the Raddolugama bus stand by officers of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC).

The officer is accused of soliciting and accepting the bribe from an employee of a bus operating on Route No. 188 between Raddolugama and Colombo. 

The alleged payment was sought in exchange for permitting the bus to commence its scheduled journey later than the stipulated time and allowing it to begin the journey under favourable conditions.

The arrested suspect is scheduled to be produced before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.
