The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Mujibur Rahuman alleged irregularities in several government decisions, including a withdrawn wheat tender, the release of 323 containers, and the awarding of a 50 MW Mannar wind power project despite an appeal being rejected. He questioned why the President’s committee report on the containers had not been presented to Parliament and accused the Government of failing to uphold its pledges on transparency, anti-corruption, and the rule of law.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will conclude briefly.
¶ 02 They tried to fix the wheat tender too—there was huge opposition and it was withdrawn. They pushed 323 containers out. The President appointed a committee to inquire; that report has not been presented to Parliament; it is still hidden at the Presidential Secretariat. The 50 MW wind power project in Mannar was not awarded to the winning company; it was given to Dhammika Perera—friend of the President—whose appeal had been rejected. So do not say there has been no fraud. You promised to eliminate fraud and corruption, to act with transparency and uphold the rule of law. But one by one those promises are being swept away like sticks thrown into the river.
¶ 03 Thank you.
