Eraj Fernando, who resigned from post as Hambantota Mayor, to lose chairmanship at Salt Corporation?

Date:

We reported on February 02 Eraj Fernando, who served as the Mayor of Hambantota, was likely to resign from his post in the event that he has been nominated as the new Chairman of the Ceylon Salt Corporation. Proving our report, Fernando today (10) confirmed his resignation. He has also resigned from his council membership.

However, sources divulged that chances are high that he will not be given the chairmanship at the Salt Corporation, given that Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, who is a close friend to Nishantha Sandabarana, the former Chairman of the Salt Corporation who was forcibly ousted from his position at Fernando’s intervention, is not so fond of him being appointed in the position.

Fernando is believed to be a devotee to Chamal Rajapaksa.
