The Island
|September 30, 2025
The JVP's erstwhile comrades in the Frontline Socialist Party (FSP) have accused the government of manipulating procurement procedures to award a controversial coal import tender to a favoured company, raising fresh concerns about corruption in Sri Lanka's energy sector.
Addressing a seminar, titled “Uttaraya Api”, in Bendiwewa, Polonnaruwa, on Sunday, FSP Education Secretary Pubudu Jayagoda alleged that the coal tender, opened on 15 September for power generation purposes, had been improperly awarded to Trident Chemphar, under questionable circumstances.
