Much information is being revealed regarding open fraud and corruption in government institutions. The Auditor General’s report has revealed the disappearance of 14 diesel bowsers taken to Milko Company.
The 2022 Auditor General’s report, presented to Parliament, has uncovered crucial information. The fuel frauds, a series of illicit activities, were carried out over a significant period between 2017 and 31 August 2022, resulting in the fraudulent diversion of 92,400 litres of diesel.
The government-owned Milko Company was making losses, but Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who assumed responsibility as the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock in April 2004, turned the company into a huge profit within 14 months until his resignation in June 2005.
In addition, the report also states that 165,300 litres of diesel have been illegally diverted in another form of fuel fraud. The video containing the facts revealed by independent television is shown below.
