Ranatunges a byword for corruption are responsible for the first strike at an Institution under good governance !
(Lanka-e-News -04.Jan.2016, 7.30PM) The raising of Ports entry fee by an unimaginable unconscionable 4000 % by the mentally deranged Ranatunge family in charge of Port administration provoked the joint Ports users association staged a strike yesterday (03) .
Lorry drivers , workers unloading goods from vehicles, Wharf representatives , Wharf clerks , and sub contractors together participated in the strike. It was also decided that a huge demonstration staged during the strike in front of the YMBA building Fort at 11.30 a.m. yesterday.
This Ranatunge family that is a byword for corruption and frauds , and is monopolizing the Ports via corrupt and crooked administration , had raised this fee entry so atrociously perhaps because they have no time to think sanely and sensibly when introducing new levies since their entire gaze and thought are fixed only on making a fast buck even slitting the throats of the poor wage earners and Port entrants. Hitherto the fee paid to enter the port was Rs. 280.00 , whereas the new rate is Rs. 11 778.00 , and for a vehicle to enter Port , the fee has been raised from Rs. 365.00 to Rs. 13320.00 !

No matter the rackets and deceits of Arjuna and his brothers , Arjuna has today fastened on himself the disgraceful stigma as the first cabinet minister of the government of good governance under whose ministry a strike was staged .
