The Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU ) led by Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila lodged a police complaint against an individual who solicited cash inducements from various persons promising employment at the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation(CPC).

Party’s General Secretary Upul Wijesekara said a complaint was made with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the police against this person who fraudulently took money. He said there are reports about unscrupulous persons indulging in such nefarious activities. He urged the general public not to offer money to anyone seeking employment at the CPC since all recruitments would be made in terms of the criteria stipulated by the government.
