A letter was handed over to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance by the New People’s Front Avissawella Chief Organizer, Seethawaka Pradeshiya Sabha Member Nalaka Bandara, Avissawella Youth Affairs Secretary Darshana Harshanath and Borella Electoral Organizer Kushan Madanayake.
Speaking at the event, Seethawaka Pradeshiya Sabha Member Nalaka Bandara stated that the letter was handed over to obtain information about the legality of digital currencies, which are being hotly debated in today’s society.
He further stated that since even the ministers of the current National People’s Power Government are engaged in the process of making money from this Digitel Currency, the general public in society is also likely to resort to such activities and therefore this letter was handed over to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance with the aim of obtaining a clear explanation.
The current Minister of Commerce, Food Security and Cooperatives, Wasantha Samarasinghe, has stated that he has assets of 27 crores and that the Digitel Currency method has been used to earn those assets. We request him to reveal to the country that there are several units of Crypto Currency in Digitel Currency and in which of those units Minister Wasantha Samarasinghe has sent money.
Also, to buy a Bitcoin in Crypto Currency, it is generally required to spend more than 03 crores. Accordingly, it is clear to us that making any investment in Digitel Currency will require a large amount of money. He further stated that a clear investigation should be conducted into how he earned this investment in Digitel Currency.
