Secretary to President P. B. Jayasundera vehemently denied media reports citing a statement made by an Opposition MP in Parliament regarding the opening of a personal account in a state bank to import fertilizer from India.

“Those news stories are completely false and malicious. The opening of an account in a state bank is an act between the relevant bank and the account holder. It is the responsibility of the bank to act in accordance with the standard procedures in this regard,” Mr Jayasundera said.

Secretary to the President P. B. Jayasundera stated that stern legal action has already been taken against the false propaganda targeted at him by highlighting a statement made by a Member of Parliament, according to a statement from the Secretariat.
