Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike
Kumaratunge says the accumulated payments due to contractors by the
former regime amounts to Rs. 100,000 million.
The former president made this comment participating in a ceremony
where Minister Arjuna Ranatunge assumed duties as the SLFP organizer for
Attanagalla.
Kumaratunge further said that she is ready to face the challenge if
former president Mahinda Rajapaksa tries to destroy the country.
"We are aware of the Rajapaksa's plan to create chaos once again. But
we caution them to stand down. But if they continue their schemes of
destroying the country we are ready to face that challenge," she
charged.
