The JVP today revealed in Parliament, that the Kerawalapitiya LNG agreement was not signed with New Fortress Energy.
Leader of the JVP Parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayaka revealed the matter, when tabling the relevant agreement in Parliament.
MP Dissanayaka questioned the government on which basis it signed the agreement with another company, disregarding the permission granted by the Cabinet of Ministers.
The MP noted the Cabinet had granted authority to the Secretary to the Treasury to sign an agreement with New Fortress.
He added however the relevant agreement was not tabled before the Cabinet or in Parliament.
MP Dissanayaka said although the Cabinet granted permission to reach an agreement with New Fortress Energy, it was signed with Sri Lanka Power Holding, which is a company registered in the United States.
