Fernando, who previously served as State Minister, cooperated with the investigative authority during the session. The CCIB has not publicly disclosed the specific allegations or matters being examined in connection with the former minister.
The questioning comes as the CCIB continues its operations investigating corruption-related complaints and bribery allegations across various sectors and government positions. The commission has authority to examine public officials and private citizens as part of its mandated investigations.
No further details regarding the outcome of the questioning or any potential charges have been announced. The CCIB typically conducts its investigations with limited public disclosure until formal conclusions are reached.
