The Central Bank nor any state bank was controlled by the Ministry of Finance during his tenure as Minister of Finance, the former Minister Ravi Karunanayake has said.
The former Minister, therefore, claimed that in such a situation he cannot be made responsible for decisions taken by those institutions at the time.
Karunanayake made these comments while in an interview with the editor of lankanewsweek.com, Sujith Mangala De Silva. During the discussion, the Minister also claimed that the public will understand the truth in the near future.
People will realize the truth someday:
“I have not done anything wrong. The people will someday realize the truth and join me as the truth cannot be concealed for long”.
“I have been involved in social service since childhood so whether I have the power or not my service to the public will not be stopped”.
“When one is involved in social services it creates enemies within the party and from the opposition as well” Karunanayake was quoted as saying while also adding that he has the strength to able to face such enemies.
The Minister had previously claimed that he was not involved in the Bond scam as the Central and state banks were not under the Ministry of Finance.
