Central Bank Governor Will Go On Leave Until The Inquiary Completed-Prime Minister

Prime Minister Ranil Wikramasinha has made a special statement this evening in Parliament by stating that the Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendren will go on leave until the investigation on the controversial Central Bond Issue which he was alleged as involved in  is completed.

Both the leftist Janatha Wimukthi Peramuna(JVP) and the opposition parties have been requested the Central Bank Governor over the last few weeks to temporarily step down from his post to pave the way for an impartial inquiry on the bond issue.
