Maligakanda Magistrate Lochana Abeywickrama has directed the examination of former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella by a seven-member medical panel to verify the authenticity of his claimed ailments. The magistrate instructed the Director General of Health Services to present the panel’s report to court by February 29. Deputy Solicitor General Lakmini Girihagama questioned the validity of Rambukwella’s medical reports, asserting they were photocopies and dated from 2011 to 2017. The DSG alleged that the doctor supporting Rambukwella’s bail had not conducted any recent medical examinations in the past five years.
