Not only humans, but even animal husbandry carry out their activities with the methods they are used to. In order to change what they are accustomed to, there must be a strong influence for it. As long as this is not the case and as long as the factors to be changed enter the nervous system and the system itself is not changed, thieves steal. The wicked do their deeds in the same way. Will the country change even if the IMF is received? There is much more to change the country. This article contains an analysis of old scams.
Some examples of corruption.
Cement
During the recession, many facts revealed that corruption is behind all the price changes in Sri Lanka. For example, while importing a bale of cement to Sri Lanka costs less than 1000 rupees, it was close to 3000 rupees when the customers buy it. The main reason for this is that they have to pay higher prices due to a major monopoly on cement.
It is also reported that a barrel of Marban oil is currently worth $67 in the world market. But if bought from Russia, it can be bought at a price of 45 dollars, experts say. But various reports indicate that it is bought from Sri Lanka for about 135 dollars. It is not reported that there have been revisions in that price.
Energy including domestic gas
Consumers in Sri Lanka have to pay more than consumers in other countries of the world. It is because of the thefts done by the political and white-collar government officials in the government machinery. Recently, news reports had published that a company owned by Namal Rajapaksa had even brought coal ships for the first time. Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa stated that Namal Rajapaksa is not him. However, there were other Namal Rajapaksas. Only their conscience knows who he is.
Fertilizer is a different story.
However, it is clear that Sri Lankans are shown the prices of the world market, and the prices are set accordingly, but if it is true, they can buy oil, gas and fertilizers for less than those prices.
A number of massive frauds were reported on the fertilizers required for the plantation industry including the millions of farmers in Sri Lanka by showing different prices. A bundle of urea belonging to fertilizers which suddenly became the biggest crisis in Sri Lanka was 10500 rupees a few days ago. It is a miracle.
Urea fertilizer was first distributed at a price between 27,000 and 25,000 rupees. Later it was Rs 21,000. After that, the government had taken a policy decision to give 10000 rupees for paddy cultivation and 15000 rupees for tea cultivation. But despite this, it was revealed in a program of Mr. Chamuditha Samarawickrama that it can be given for an amount of Rs. 18000/=. It was a statement by Minister Ramesh Pathirana.
However, when the difference in the dollar price was changed by 35 rupees, how did the price of fertilizer change instantly in this way? If so, it is not clear how the price of fertilizer changed by 7,500 rupees. It is a miracle. Looking at it that way, the difference in price per metric ton is one hundred and fifty thousand.
According to the information we have, the prices of fertilizers in different countries are different, just like the difference between the oil price in the world market and the oil price in Russia. Accordingly, we see that the entire process is based on bribery, swindling and a corrupt business ring. However, it is also clear that the price of fertilizer was reduced to cover up the theft in the government machinery including government officials due to the intervention of the private sector. Despite the ability to provide fertilizers at a low price, government fertilizer companies have committed a huge fraud so far. The damage caused to the plantation industry including farming in this country is serious. There were also reports that even the funds provided by the World Bank for the import of fertilizers were subject to corruption.
Various examples can show that this huge theft of government fertilizer companies is happening with the knowledge of the political authority, but there is no evidence to show that they happened in the same way. But the corruption of officials of fertilizer companies is clear. Somehow, the corrupt system of the public service was revealed as soon as the private sector was allowed to import fertilizers.
Also, the State Fertilizer Companies have the machines for mixing the types of fertilizers required by Sri Lanka.
At the time when the government provided fertilizers at a subsidized price (1500 rupees), the price of a 25 kg bundle of the world-renowned fertilizer “Yaramila” was 2,500 rupees. Also, with the ban on fertilizers, it became five thousand rupees and later it increased to around 40,000 rupees.
Accordingly, it appears that even when 50 kg was given for 1500 rupees, the private sector was able to bring a bundle of 25 kg of the best fertilizer in the world for 2500 rupees.
After all this, intelligent farmers say that the price has decreased because the corrupt public servants cannot steal through the importation of fertilizers by the private sector. Accordingly, it is clear that fertilizer can still be sold at a lower price than the government price.
According to that, there are corrupt practices such as imposing restrictions, hiding and increasing prices in this country. It is clear that the massive fraud, corruption and lies in it is another reason that contributed to the destruction of the country.
And at that time, a bundle of fertilizer used for U 709 tea, which was about twenty seven thousand rupees, is now 13,500 k. Do not interfere with the private sector. It is clear from the above examples that the government (rogue) fertilizer companies are ruining this country economically and destroying the farmer and enriching themselves.
Accordingly, such companies should be sold or the processes that have caused suffering to the people of this country should be ended. Without that, the money received from the IMF will be just another loan received by Sri Lanka and it will only be a temporary comfort, “like a frog in water until the heat gets hot”. Therefore, this entire corrupt process should be ended.
