Rohana Bandara alleged that documents signed by the Sathosa Chairman relate to a land purchase for Rs. 10 million and questioned whether such a purchase could be made. He linked the matter to Sathosa’s rice imports and claimed that others may be misusing the relevant official’s name to commit fraud during rice import activities.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 This is signed by the Sathosa Chairman. I have the documents with me. Can you purchase that land for Rs. 10 million? If so, the rice imported by Sathosa is connected to this. When you go to import rice, others misuse your name and commit fraud.
