Here is testimony to Rajapakses’ fraud on barges imported wasting colossal public funds
(Lanka-e-News-13.Aug.2014, 2.30PM) In the photograph herein is another testimony to the massive financial fraud committed by the Rajapakse regime kept under lock and key at Trincomalee Ashroff quay , and away from the notice of everybody in this country.
The three conveyor barges and the tug boats that draw them (not visible in the photograph) were imported by this regime at a cost of Rs. 450 million ! in order to transport the coal that are imported to the Norochcholai power project from the mid sea after they are loaded to the barges.
Yet, as is always the case with the lop sided planning of the profligate regime whose greatest affinity and pleasure is wasting public funds , no vessel that is transporting coal had agreed to this procedure- the vessels have transported the coal right up to the port .
Consequently , these 3 barges and the 3 tug boats which were purchased wasting colossal public funds are kept hidden away from public notice and have now gone to rack and ruins. This area where these barges and boats are allowed to corrode , thereby unconscionably allowing public funds to wantonly go down the drain has been declared a no entry zone (out of bounds) for the Port employees.
What is still worse is , 100 individuals had been recruited for employment recently, but none of them are doing any work ; they are only collecting their monthly salaries on time.
