Three suspects, including former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, have been released on bail by the Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court. The case involves the purchase of substandard human immunoglobulin injections, which led to Rambukwella and the other suspects being remanded earlier this year.
The court had initially remanded Rambukwella and his co-accused on February 3, 2024. After spending seven months in custody, they were granted bail, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
This case attracted widespread attention, particularly due to Rambukwella’s high-profile position as a former health minister. The investigation into the purchase of faulty medical supplies has raised questions about procurement practices and accountability in the public health sector.
