A team from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is currently recording a statement from former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella at his residence, the police said.
The relevant statement is being recorded over the controversial sub-standard Immunoglobulin import issue, according to police.
Accordingly, a team of officers from the CID had visited the Environment Minister’s house at around 10.00 a.m. this morning to record the statement.
So far, several high profile arrests have been made in connection with the case including the former Secretary of the Ministry of Health, the Director of the Health Ministry’s Medical Supplies Division and three other officials of the same division, as well as the owner of the relevant company which is said to have imported the batch of substandard Immunoglobulin vials by forging documents.
They are currently in remand custody.
