The Provincial Councilor said that in the recent past billions of rupees of EPF money was invested in companies at the Colombo Stock Exchange and losses were incurred. Samarasinghe noted that although he sought legal redress in this regard, his court cases were dismissed by former Chief Justice Mohan Peris, who the Councillor claimed to have acted in denial of these incidents.
The Provincial Councilor went onto note that Prime Minister mentioned some names in Parliament, saying these people had invested public property and public funds as well as funds of state institutions in the Colombo Stock Exchange.
