Cabinet Spokesperson, Minister Rajitha Senaratne says that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has taken responsibility over Arjuna Mahendran’s appointment as Central Bank Governor due to continuous opposition over the appointment.
The Minister said that objections were raised by him even at a Cabinet meeting over the appointment.
However, Senaratne noted that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe had made the appointment claiming he would take full responsibility on the matter.
Mahendran is currently in the midst of controversy over alleged"insider trading" in the latest Treasury bond issue of the Central Bank.
