Saman Lal Pranandu

Saman Lal Pranandu, the former mayor of Moratuwa, was recently granted bail under strict conditions by Colombo's Chief Magistrate, Asanka S. Bodaragama, amid allegations of corruption related to 112 road development projects. These projects were reportedly awarded without proper tenders, violating local government regulations and causing financial loss to the state and community. The investigation, conducted by the bribery commission, highlights issues of misconduct, including the alleged undue benefits Pranandu received, leading to his detention.
