Our main demand is that the Government not proceed with the illegal and improper deal with New Fortress Energy Inc. This company is a corrupt and bankrupt company. “When Anura Dissanayake questioned why this deal was signed at midnight, their answer was that it was signed according to American time. “This company, which will import LNG to Sri Lanka, store it in Sri Lanka for use, construct the necessary facilities required for such purpose ,and re-export LNG only has the ability to pay $ 300 in tax,” claimed Handunnetti in derision. They (the Rajapaksas) removed all of them and appointed Gamini Lokuge as the Minister of Power in order to pass this deal,” Handunnetti alleged.
