MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara, the Leader of the Democratic Left Front, says that the Prime Minister as the appointing authority, must take responsibility for the alleged treasury bond scam, and make a statement himself.

Speaking to News1st, Nanayakkara reiterated that the government cannot delay taking action on the matter, as the country’s reputation is at stake.

MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara went onto note that the Prime Minister who hand- picked Arjuna Mahendran has to take responsibility and cannot just brush over it and say that this is a technical matter.

Speaking further, he added that he would go to the extent of saying that PM must make a statement about this and his relationship to Arjuna Mahendran, to hand-pick him to be the Governor of the Central Bank.
