Former Prime Minister and United National Party leader Ranil Wickremesinghe yesterday gave a statement to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in connection with the controversial bond scam that took place during his Government.

Wickremesinghe was instrumental in the appointment of former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran in 2015 and later gave him a position as an advisor after his removal.
