The auditor general’s report on the Chinese fertilizer ship is incorrect – Amaraweera

Date:

Minister Mahinda Amaraweera says that the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture have informed him that the report issued by the Auditor General regarding the controversial Chinese fertilizer ship is not correct.

The Minister states that the Auditor General’s Department has asked the Ministry of Agriculture regarding the fertilizer transaction, but the answers given by the Ministry officials have not been included in the report.
