Commenting on Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal’s decision to resign from his post, UNP Parliamentarian Dr. Harsha De Silva today said that Mr. Cabraal should answer to the financial allegations during his tenure before resigning.
Dr. de Silva said the opposition had been fighting on behalf of the people during the past four years and that the Central Bank had been in the centre of these allegations.
“There are a number of financial allegations relating to the Central Bank, Stock Exchange manipulation especially with regard to the use of EPF and Bond Market manipulations. Therefore, the Governor cannot simply resign without responding to these allegations,” he said.
