The Joint Opposition Alliance has lodged a complaint with the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption, calling for a probe into alleged corruption and irregularities linked to diesel imports by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC).

In a letter to the Bribery Commission, opposition representatives said the complaint seeks an inquiry into whether the government suffered a significant financial loss as a result of the transactions. 

They urged the Commission to question relevant officials, examine documentation, and determine if fraud or malpractice occurred, with legal action to be taken against those responsible.

The complaint highlights concerns that the alleged irregularities in fuel procurement have imposed a heavy burden on state finances, underscoring the need for accountability in the management of national resources. (Newswire)
