SLC administrators share Rs.15 million without any approval

Nearly Rs.15 million was given as bonus to employees of Sri Lanka Cricket without any approval from the majority in the Interim Committee says the acting president of Sri Lanka Cricket Ishan de Silva. He said this speaking at a media briefing held at the head office of Sri Lanka Cricket yesterday (20th).
The Secretary of the Interim Committee for Cricket Nishanthe Ranatunga said the monies were distributed on the discretion of the present Chairman D.S. de Silva. Mr. Ranatunga said no one knew about it until the money was distributed and the Chairman was responsible for the move he added.

Despite the treasurer of Sri Lanka Cricket Sujeewa Rajapakse was present at the media briefing, nobody was able to answer the query who had signed the cheque for the money that was distributed.

It was also revealed that an investigation is being carried out regarding the payment of bonus for employees even when SLC was already in debt to the tune of US$19 million.
