By the time Power and Energy Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka assumed duties today, former MP Sajin Vas Gunawardane had settled Rs.170 million in cash due from a filling station reportedly owned by him, the Daily Mirror learns.

Earlier, there were media reports indicating that Rs.170 million remained defaulted from a filling station run by him.

However, it is learnt that he had settled the dues by the time the new minister assumed duties.  

Meanwhile, Mr. Gunawardane issued a statement today denying media reports that he defaulted such a payment. He said neither he nor the company running that fuel station had defaulted payment.

    As this is a famous case and evidence is there, he could not refuse to pay. What about other ministers? They must have misused more public funds than this. In many cases, no evidence but public funds are missing.

    Was this payment made to prevent further investigations into who actually benefited from all the fuel that was pumped from that shed?
