Twenty-six (26) vehicles, including luxury and decommissioned models, are scheduled to be auctioned tomorrow (15 May), as part of the second phase of the luxury vehicle auction conducted by the Presidential Secretariat.

According to the President’s Office, all vehicles set to be auctioned were manufactured within the last ten years, while the deadline for submitting bids for these vehicles concluded today.

Among the vehicles to be auctioned are 01 BMW car, 02 Ford Everest Jeeps, 01 Hyundai Terracan Jeep, 02 Land Rover Jeeps, 01 Mitsubishi Montero, 03 Nissan Patrol vehicles, 02 Nissan cars, 01  Porsche Cayenne, 05 SsangYong Rexton Jeeps, 01 Toyota Land Cruiser Sahara, 06 V08 vehicles and 01 Mitsubishi Rosa air-conditioned bus. 

Previously, under the first phase of this auction, 14 luxury vehicles, six decommissioned vehicles, and various spare parts were sold.

This initiative is part of the government’s effort to reduce expenditure and promote financial responsibility. In the first phase, 15 vehicles, including nine Defender jeeps, were successfully auctioned.

The vehicles being auctioned tomorrow are not part of the official vehicle fleet assigned to the regular staff of the Presidential Secretariat, but those that were used by advisors and staff appointed by the former President under Article 41(1) of the Constitution during his term in office.

The government has instructed state institutions to auction selected luxury vehicles with a high-capacity engine, including V8 models, and provide a report on the income generated before 01 March 2025 to the Ministry of Finance.

According to the Lankadeepa newspaper, the instructions have been issued by Finance Ministry Secretary Mahinda Siriwardena to all heads of state institutions via a special circular.

Per the circular, vehicles that fall under the HS 87.03 category of the Customs Ordinance, such as Petrol vehicles with a high-capacity engine of over 1800CC and Diesel vehicles with a high-capacity engine of over 2300CC, such as double cabs, single cab, vans, bus, lorry, and trucks, are to be auctioned.

The Finance Ministry has prohibited state institutions from acquiring any of the vehicles that are to be auctioned. 

The circular further points out that it is the responsibility of all state institution heads to ensure that all state vehicles are monitored and utilized in a manner that incurs less expense for the state entity and prevents its misuse. (Newswire)

The ‘Player Auction’ for the upcoming Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 cricket tournament commenced in Colombo today.

This is the second consecutive year that Sri Lanka’s topmost domestic T20 League is conducting a player auction. 

Charu Sharma, who was part of the previous LPL player drafts, will be the auctioneer of the LPL Player Auction 2024, which will consist of 18 rounds. 

Nearly 420 cricketers are to be presented for the ‘Player Auction’ out of which 154 are from Sri Lanka and the remaining 266 are overseas players.

The LPL will be played from July 1st to 21st, starting in Kandy, then in Dambulla, before heading to Colombo for the end of the tournament.

Opposition Leader MP Sajith Premadasa has accused the government of making Sri Lanka an auction land. 

MP Premadasa revealed that 17 acres of land belonging to the Southern Plywood Corporation in Gintota, Galle has been granted to a businessman for a sum of Rs. 8.2 million as a freehold land.

He further pointed out that the businessman, in turn, has auctioned the land, at a time when the matter was being debated at the Parliamentary Advisory Committee. 

“Ministers will laugh and say that they will sell each land. The national resources belonging to the citizens and children of the country have been auctioned. Selling the country’s resources in this way is a huge tragedy,” he said. 

The Opposition Leader made the remarks while donating a smart classroom to the Elapatha Maha Vidyalaya in Nivithigala, Ratnapura on Tuesday (Feb 13). 

The smart classroom worth Rs. 1 million was provided to the school under the 94th phase of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya’s smart classroom donation programme. (NewsWire)
