Public Rights Movement raises alarm over Litro tender changes, calls for probe
Daily FT
|September 22, 2025
THE National Movement for the Protection of Public Rights has voiced strong concern over recent changes made to Litro Gas Lanka's tender process for importing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), warning that the move could undermine the profitability of the State-owned enterprise (SOE) and compromise national energy security.
-
In a letter addressed to the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) Director-General, Movement Convener Charaka Thilakaratne alleged that a key clause in previous tender documents had been removed without proper authorisation.
The clause had prohibited Litro from using storage facilities owned by competing suppliers to store imported gas reserves, a safeguard long considered essential to prevent market manipulation in the critical gas sector.
