The Joint Opposition Alliance has lodged a complaint with the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption, seeking an inquiry into alleged corruption and irregularities in recent diesel imports by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC). Opposition representatives claim these transactions have caused a significant financial loss to the government. The complaint urges the Commission to question relevant officials, examine documentation, and determine if fraud or malpractice occurred. It also calls for legal action against those responsible. Prominent figures, including Professor G. L. Peiris and Champika Ranawaka, are among the signatories to the complaint.
