Former Petroleum Industries Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa was summoned to the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) at the Police Head Quarters yesterday to record a statement. The statement was reordered over a complaint that the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) had incurred a loss of Rs. 35 million during his tenure as Petroleum Minister. According to reports, the Government had incurred the losses as a result of the small ship hired from the Luna Shipping Company to carry out ship-to-ship transfer of fuel after a buoy was damaged near the unloading facility by a ship supplying fuel to the CPC last year.
