The Government said that it would intensify investigations over alleged corruption and fraud by appointing another unit to assist in the probe.
A special police unit is already involved in investigating serious financial crimes but Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said that a serious frauds bureau would also be setup soon.
