UNP MP Harsha de Silva questioned the credibility and the legitimacy of the Oceanic Games (Private) Limited, a casino license holder in Maccau that is supposed to commence an Online Casino/Lottery next month in Sri Lanka.

“This company has been registered only recently (2012 August) with one share holder. Another foreign share holder has been brought in the same day. They are the only two people of the company that is supposed to start an Online Lottery next month. But the company doesn’t seem to be legitimate,” he said at a media conference today.

He said that it was essential to find out who these people were before next month and said the government had to come clean with the facts. He said this project also seemed to be an unsolicited project. (Yohan Perera & Lahiru Pothmulla)

This lunatic so-called economist, casino also bad and harbour town project also bad and list goes on with his allergy. I don't think any antihistamine can cure his disease.

Look like the UNP doesn't have anything to talk about. Harsha can you please comment about the Casinos operated with the blessings of your own party. Do you know that Aloysius Mudalali was running a Casino in the heart of Colombo - less than a kilometer from President Premadasa's Official residence. Be honest at least to yourself
