The Hon. Eranga Weeraratne
Hon. Eranga Weeraratne responded to an Opposition allegation that companies in which he has ownership obtained an RDA toll-gate project through his influence. He stated that the toll system project was carried out in 2019, before his current political role, and described it as a locally developed alternative to systems previously handled by Chinese companies, reducing reliance on imports.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I wish to briefly clarify the allegation raised by the Opposition Member. He claimed Omobio (Pvt) Ltd and Eimsky Business Solutions (Pvt) Ltd—companies in which I have ownership—are doing an RDA toll-gate project and that I used my influence to obtain it. I am an IT engineer and previously contributed in the private sector to digitalization. The RDA toll system project we did was undertaken in 2019. Before that, such projects were run by Chinese companies. We were among the first to develop a local toll-gate system for the RDA, reducing the need for imports. That project dates to 2019.
