Public Relations Minister Mervyn Silva has been summoned to the
Bribery and Corruption Commission to respond to a complaint lodged over
his assets.
An official at the Commission, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the complaint relates to the luxury vehicles used by his son Malaka Silva.
However, the Commission official refused to name the person who made the complaint and the date the Minister was expected to appear.
According to the complaint the Minister does not possess huge assets which allow him to purchase the type of luxury cars used by his son. The Commission says it has received complaints over the assets of several other government Ministers as well.
