In reference to the Chinese fertiliser fiasco, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has stated that if Sri Lanka has to pay for something that has not been purchased, then there is an issue with the Letter of Credit (LC) relating to the deal. Therefore, the SJB says that the people who were responsible for drafting this facility with the Seawin Biotech company must be revealed. "The Chinese Government has grabbed us by the neck and pinned us to a wall to get this money. The first question is, why are we paying for something that we are not buying? Secondly, what is the responsibility of those who spoke a lot about these matters, including Mahindananda and Shasheendra? The third question is, if we are paying for something that we are not buying, there is surely a fault in the Letter of Credit. Those who drafted the Letter of Credit should be revealed," SJB MP S.M Marikkar said at a press conference yesterday (14). Marikkar further added that Parliament was prorogued on the same day the payment to the Chinese fertiliser was approved, and that this was the reason as to why Parliament was prorogued. Meanwhile, SJB MP Mujibur Rahman added that strict legal action would be taken against those who made the wrong decision to release payment to the Chinese fertiliser company and procedures will be formulated to recover the lost funds.
