Former JVP MP Samantha Vidyaratne had expressed his views yesterday (Jan. 16) regarding a paper submitted to the Cabinet to pay $ 6.7 million for a Chinese fertilizer ship.
He has pointed out that if the government wants, this money could be paid by selling lands in Medamulana without using the people’s money.
He has also alleged that the Finance Minister had gone on holiday abroad at a time when the country is in a difficult economic situation.
