The Hon. Dewananda Suraweera
Hon. Dewananda Suraweera raised concerns about alleged irregularities at “Maga Neguma,” including repeated contract extensions for 65 officers appointed to wind up the institution and an alleged alteration of a cheque from Rs. 400,000 to Rs. 21 million. He further alleged that private companies were being used to profit through bonds amounting to about Rs. 12 billion, and asked whether an investigation would be conducted.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: When we say “Maga Neguma”, a family comes to mind, and the harm done to the economy and public health is severe. The 65 officers appointed on contract to wind up the institution are being extended every two months, including the General Manager and Deputy General Manager. Recently, a cheque written for Rs. 400,000 was altered to Rs. 21 million; I can forward a copy. There are methods using bonds of about Rs. 12 billion via private companies to extract profits. Will you investigate?
