Leader of the Freedom People’s Congress Dullas Alahapperuma has raised concerns over reports of Chinese companies having intervened in Sri Lanka to get projects with the coordination of middlemen.

In a statement on ‘X’, the former MP pointed out that according to media reports, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is set to request the Chinese government to avoid involving middlemen in the development activities carried out by Chinese companies in Sri Lanka.

“Doesn’t this clearly imply that the Chinese companies have corruptly intervened in Sri Lanka to get projects with the coordination of middlemen?” he questioned. 

The former MP pointed out that every Chinese company that carries out development projects in Sri Lanka or any other foreign country on loans or grants rolled out by the Chinese government is a company of the People’s Republic of China and not a private company.

He further stressed that it was a prime responsibility of the current Sri Lankan government to immediately reveal those who were previously used as middlemen to receive money through the projects as indicated. 

“If not, this will cause serious damage to the historically built brotherhood and friendship between China and Sri Lanka,” he warned. (Newswire)
