Hon. Eranga Weeraratne denied allegations of using his official position to secure contracts for a company in which he holds shares, stating he is no longer its CEO. He said the relevant digitalization contracts with the RDA and expressways were awarded about four years before he assumed office.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Regarding the company you mention, I am no longer the CEO. I do hold shares. Check when that contract was won—long before I assumed this role. The company operates in this industry. It previously carried out digitalization work for the RDA and the expressways. Those contracts were obtained about four years before I took office. To say I used my power to obtain them is utterly false.
