(LeN-2007 March 12, 7.15pm) The Defense Secretary who has ordered to cancel the sales agencies of Dialog GSM has taken over the agencies to `Lanka Logistic & Technologies` company in which Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse is a share holder.
The other share holders of this company are Secretary of the Finance Ministry P.B. Jayasundara, Commanders of the Three armed forces, IGP, Sudharshan Senarathne and Mohan Peries.
The main agents of the Dialog GSM was CBE. Tiran Allas and Dushyantha Basnayake who is also under detention are the directors of this company. The Defense Secretary has ordered that all the agents of the company be with held and all the new agents should go through the ministry. Which means even if the company wants to appoint new agents it could be done only if the Defense Ministry gives approve.
These measures are being taken to hamper the activities of Tiran Allas who is the head of the Maubima Newspaper. The aim of suspending the agencies is to stop the CBE company gain revenue and thereby stop funds being transferred to the newspaper.

| When governments around the world are cutting red tape and coming hard or corruption in order to improve the investor confidence and create a favourable environment for business to flourish Sorry Lanka is going the other direction because of the greed on a few individuals. |
