President denies CEB chairman’s statement

President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has stated that he has not influenced any individual or institution regarding the handing over of the proposed wind power project in Mannar.

Accordingly, he emphasizes that he strongly rejects the statement made by the Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board at the Parliamentary Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE).

CEB Chairman M.C. Ferdinando recently told the COPE Committee that President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa had pressured him to hand over the proposed wind power project in Mannar to Adani India.
