Currently, there is talk in the political field about a powerful cabinet minister who receives 50 million rupees each from the relevant suppliers to submit a cabinet paper in order to get cabinet approval for the tenders for emergency purchases of his ministry.
It is also said that 40 million rupees are being taken from the minister’s close friends to relieve the above mentioned amount.
Sources said that these money transactions are not done in Sri Lanka but through Australia.
