(Lanka-e-News -16.June.2016, 11.10PM) Arjuna Ranatunge the minister who is now wreaking havoc on the Port and deploying its resources for the benefit of his harem , has illegally turned out goods made out of super quality timber of the carpentry Industry belonging to the Port. Those goods were seized lastday by the Port trade union leaders along with a media team.
The goods so made using valuable timber such as teak and stain at the carpentry division belonging to the Ports Authority located at Slave Island Beira included double beds , Almirahs, living room almirahs ,tables, chairs etc . meant not for the Port but for luxury houses.
Though it is the responsibility of this Industry to produce goods to serve the purposes of the Port , these goods have been produced not based on any orders placed duly in accordance with regulations. The only order was that given by the Minister orally. In other words the minister instead of abiding by rules and regulations, and setting an example to others has himself flouted laws uncaringly .
It is the chief engineer in charge of this Industry who is fully responsible for this. This engineer is well noted for his corrupt activities committed in league with former chairman of Ports Priyath Banduwickremage during the ‘nefarious decade’ of the Rajapakses. Instead of punishing him , what Arjuna Ranatunge did was after becoming the minister of Ports , he used him to get the necessary luxurious furniture done unlawfully for his harem. Accordingly these furniture items have been produced unlawfully. That is grave corrupt activities have been indulged in meaning that all those from minister Arjuna down to the engineer merit punishment .
The opinions expressed by the trade union leaders in this regard can be viewed via the Hiru video footage hereunder
