The CPC and the Ministry has received more than 70 proposals in the last month for the supply of Petroleum products, Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera states.
In a series of Tweets, the minister had said, “Most proposal fulfill the technical requirements but fail to fulfill the payment methods that can be adopted by CPC due to the country and banking ratings. Urge anyone with a viable proposal to submit it to CPC or Ministry rather than spreading false and misleading news.”
The minister has also stated that the “CPC has instructed its lawyers to take appropriate legal action against the Divaina news paper on false and misleading news articles published on crude oil to Sri Lanka from Russia.”
“A complaint will also be made by CPC to the CID to Investigate the allegations,” he has further noted.
