Sri Lanka’s top anti-graft official on Thursday rejected allegations of his involvement in active politics as “completely false”, saying it was a sinister campaign to tarnish the image of his organisation. Ranga Dissanayake, the Director General of the Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC), said his job “is to uphold the CIABOC mandate without fear or favour”. Several former high-ranking politicians have been arrested since Dissanayake took over as the DG in January this year. He rejected the allegations of his involvement in active politics as “completely false”. The current NPP government of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake treats its anti-corruption campaign as the main plank of its governance.
