The Hon. Hesha Withanage Ankumbura Arachchi
Hon. Hesha Withanage Ankumbura Arachchi urged the Minister to intervene in the Sri Lanka Cricket election process, warning that allowing it to proceed would enable alleged manipulation by the existing administration. Citing fraud identified by the Auditor General, he called for the Minister or the President to use available powers to halt the process and cautioned against being influenced by those running the institution.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I appreciated your visit to Homagama—no issue there. But if SLC elections proceed as planned, your ministerial term will effectively end; they will rig the game again. Therefore, use your powers, or through the President, to halt the process. This institution has committed fraud, as the Auditor General exposed. Do not fall into their pocket—you will be finished immediately.
