The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has requested information from Parliament on the procedure used to disburse salaries to Members of Parliament, seeking to determine whether payments are made through a single account or transferred directly into each MP’s personal bank account.
This move follows a complaint lodged by former MP Udaya Gammanpila, who claimed that public funds issued monthly to members of the National People’s Power were allegedly used for political activities, which he says amounts to corruption.
Gammanpila submitted the complaint on September 21 last year and has since indicated that, in line with existing legal provisions, he plans to seek an update from CIABOC regarding the progress of the investigation.
