Ms. Premachnadra told journalists that there had had been serious violation of procedures when awarding tenders under nine projects at the Hambantota Port.

She alleged that the tenders had been awarded to close associates of the SLPA hierarchy for the Phase 1 of the port project, Phase 2 and the break-water and the oil bunkering plant.

Ms. Premachnadra said she had provided information with regard to the nine projects.

“We will reveal more information on frauds in the future and I am concerned about the situation as my father, the late Presidential advisor Baratha Lakshman Premachdra, was a member of the trade union attached to the SLPA ,” she said.(YP & DS)

While you are at it, ask the CID to probe the Kudu dealers of Kolonnawa...and bring to light the facts about the turf war (business not political) which led to the murder of your father.
