Kashyapa Thera begins protest fast against MCC deal

05 Nov 2019

Ven. Ududumbara Kashyapa Thera today commenced a fast-unto-death protest urging the government to refrain from signing the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) agreement. The protest fast is staged at the Independence Square in Colombo. On the 29th of October, Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera said the $ 480 Million MCC grant had been approved by the cabinet. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told media the following day that the MCC agreement will be signed before the presidential elections set to be held on 16 Nov. However, Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday issuing a press statement said the contents of the MCC agreement were unknown and that the agreement should not be signed before the polls. A fundamental rights petition has also been filed before the Supreme Court seeking an interim injunction against the signing of the MCC agreement. Pictures by Lalith Perera [foogallery id="56636"]
