Former Lankan privatisation chief reinstated

Sri Lanka on Monday re-instated the island's controversial former
privatisation chief despite police investigations against him for
causing huge losses for the state, the government said. President
Mahinda Rajapakse restored Punchi Banda Jayasundara as head of the
treasury, the government information department said. He was
stripped of the post a year ago over the sale of bunkering facilities
at Colombo port.
