Hon. Ajith P. Perera identified Trident Chemphar Limited of India as the winner of a coal supply contract described as being awarded at a cut-rate price, with Panaurora (Pvt) Ltd of Rajagiriya serving as the local agent. He named five directors of the company — Anuradha Oshadhi Herath, Shanika Kumari, Hakmana Nandaloka Gimi, Sanath Jayasundara, and Rakhitha Rajapaksa — and called for a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inquiry into the matter.
As I said, the coal supply contract at a cut-rate was won by Trident Chemphar Limited of India; the local agent is Panaurora (Pvt) Ltd of Rajagiriya. Its directors include those I have named — Anuradha Oshadhi Herath, Shanika Kumari, Hakmana Nandaloka Gimi and Sanath Jayasundara — and also Rakhitha Rajapaksa. This is a serious matter requiring CID inquiry. Thank you.
