UNP parliamentarian Ravi Karunanayaka has lodged the complaint against the Governor on several issues, local media reported. The issues range from the controversial pyramid scheme, the oil hedging case, the Central Bank's investment of monies in Greek Bonds and the controversial share purchase by National Savings Bank (NSB).
