UNP vows to prove the truth

UNP yesterday vowed to prove the truth with regard to whether EPF investments in non-blue chips are legal or illegal.

“We categorically dismiss the renewed claims by the Central Bank and the EPF that its investments in non-blue chips are within the law. We will get the correct advice and take necessary action to prove our stand,” UNP MP Dr. Harsha de Silva told the Daily FT last night in response to the latest statement issued by the EPF.

Despite allegations and counter allegations, contentious EPF’s investment strategy is expected to come up again today (7 June) in Parliament, sources said.
