The government has decided to set up an institution to recover assets stolen by politicians and other persons, according to deshaya.lk.
This is a mechanism in force in most developed nations.
The government’s intention is to identify ill-gotten money and other wealth and enforce the law for their recovery.
Already, investigations are underway into several black money holders.
Already, NPP general election candidate Nilanthi Kottahachchi has referred to the need to form such an institution.
