Colombo (News 1st); Sri Lankan Minister Johnston Fernando said the allegations on a Sugar Scam and Coconut Oil Scam, are all false.

"There is an attempt to only tarnish the image of the President for the wrongs that are not committed by him," said Fernando adding the opposition cannot make any allegation on corruption within the present government. He said if substandard coconut oil is detected, the consignments would be destroyed or re-exported, and such incidents had happened in the past as well. [embed]https://youtu.be/zvAZjWrQNoE[/embed]
