Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) Leader Mano Ganesan has called on President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to name those who have received payoffs from Chinese Corporations previously.

In a statement on ‘X’, MP Mano Ganesan said there was chatter among Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) members that President Dissanayake, during his visit to China this week, will inform Chinese Corporations that they will not have to pay off Sri Lankan middlemen in the future. 

Welcoming this move, which he said tackles corruption, the MP further said; “But a question arises here, doesn’t such a message identify Chinese corporations as entities that make such payoffs to middlemen?”

MP Mano Ganesan stressed it was important for President Dissanayake to name those middlemen, who received such payoffs in the past, without further delay.

He pointed out that it will go a long way towards ending corruption in Sri Lanka as promised by the National People’s Power (NPP) during their campaign. (Newswire)
