Harry selling alcohol sans stickers?
The Licensed Liquor Dealers Association has reportedly asked the President to remove Commissioner General of Excise Department – Mr. M.J. Gunasiri.
They have pointed out that the country is losing out a daily excise revenue of Rs. 400 million due to the malpractices of the current commissioner.
The association has also requested the President to obtain a court order to investigate the Commissioner and other corrupt officers of the Excise Department and to investigate their assets.
President of the Association – Ajith Udugama points out that the loss of excise revenue should be investigated by an independent investigation.
Mr. Udugama has also reportedly alleged that the law of using safety stickers for liquor bottles is not implemented properly either.
