 Mr. Premadasa who was speaking during the mobile service in Tissamaharama, said “The 6.9 million people voted this government into power in order to put country’s systems in place. “However the systems have fallen today,” he said. 

“The people today have been forced to consume New Year delicacies made out of contaminated edible oil which carries a high risk of cancer. This is because contaminated edible coconut oil which was imported recently have already reached the market. Health authorities and the Department of Customs are responsible for it,” he said.
