Ten UNP MP’s are currently at the
Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery, part of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation, on their
fact finding mission of the unit. They are entitled BY LAW to obtain access and
meet with senior staff and question them on the workings of the institution,
and report their findings to Parliament, and hold a press conference if
necessary.
A group of employees having got wind of
this visit, have gathered outside and made it known that they WILL NOT permit
these MPs to enter the institution. Are they working on the orders of the Govt.
or on their own as it is now clear that since the shutdown of the Refinery
owing to a whole host of reasons, they are now being paid handsomely for
sitting at home and twiddling their thumbs. Further there is another set of
Political Stooges beyond the control of management who are on the payroll, but
who perform NO useful service at the refinery.
It is important that the people of Sri
Lanka understand that the Government of Sri Lanka is complicit in a huge racket
where the people are paying a very high price for the inefficiencies and using
people with personal agendas to prevent lawfully elected members of parliament
from attempting to investigate violations of trust of the electors is reprehensible
to say the least.
It is time WE TELL THE THUGS INCLUDING
THOSE WHO ARE INSTIGATING THIS THUGGERY – THE GOVT. MINISTERS INVOLVED IN THIS
MASSIVE FRAUD to be held accountable to the people who elect them and answer to
them, why they have made unconscionable decisions on behalf of their Country.
The racket includes the import of
refined petrol, when we could use the Refinery to do the work because, there is
money in commissions in this import payable by the companies sending these
refined petroleum products, direct to the offshore bank accounts of the officials
doing the ordering and their masters who are members of parliament in Govt. and
includes ministers and perhaps even a percentage to their patrons the Leaders
themselves.
The local Magistrate has ordered that if
the demonstrators prevent the MPs from entering that the POLICE ARREST THE
DEMONSTRATORS.
The police in the vicinity have DONE
NOTHING TO PREVENT THE DEMONSTRATORS STOPPING THE MPs GOING IN!! Is this the
Rule of Law?
Govt. organized the thugs to prevent the MPs visit. as they are frightened as to what they might find out inside, This is the sad state of Sri Lankan political chicanery, thuggery and current dictatorship
