Addressing the media in Colombo, Jayasekera asserted that the tender process had once again become controversial, with allegations that UAE-based Potentia FZCO had been allowed to qualify despite failing to meet key tender requirements.

The MP alleged that questions had arisen regarding the conduct of certain senior officials of the Lanka Coal Company and members of the Bid Evaluation Committee (BEC). He maintained that the transparency and fairness of the procurement process had been compromised.
