Investigation Officers of the Commission arrested the Unit Manager of Mahaweli Authority’s Sandunpitiya Unit Management Office on 21st May 2025 over allegations of soliciting and accepting a bribe. The arrest was made following a complaint lodged by a resident of the Welikanda area. According to the complainant, the Mahaweli Authority has given him a 20-perch land from the Ethugala area to build a house under the Ranaviru Foundation. Since it is a marshy land, he has requested another one, and the said Unit Manager has solicited and accepted a bribe of Rs. 20,000/- from the complainant for facilitating him to get another land and the license. Accordingly, the Unit Manager was arrested inside the Sandunpitiya Unit Management Office.
