Young Turk intervenes on behalf of millionaire

Memories of deals and commissions during the previous UPFA administration etched in the minds of the Sri Lankan people were replaced by those of the UNF during the three and half years of its government. Many are the accusations.

It seems this is a never ending cycle of events. Those at the apex may say one deal or the other, hurriedly done, is crooked and there was the need to probe who got the kickbacks. They even talk of committees of inquiry to identify ministers and the fat bundles of Sterling Pounds, US Dollars or Rupees they received.

Now comes a different story. A young Turk who loves modern technology intervened. They say he spoke on behalf of the millionaire to an influential brother. Hey presto, it worked. The brother spoke to the financiers who are central. In turn, the bosses there spoke with the millionaire’s establishment. They now say they have been advised to make the balance payment due within two weeks and they could go ahead with their venture.

This is the outcome of the latest détente but something the lads will not announce through a tweet.
