LMS Deal and the reliability of the Sri Lankan Judicial system


Is this the beginning of controversial decisions?  



The purpose of this article is to discuss the controversial LMS deal which was taken place between the Sri Lankan government and JKH recently.  Many sources stated that the verdict was quiet controversial.

What is LMS? Lanka Marine Services expertise in bunkering and lubricants to meet all demands at port, at anchorage and at off port limits.

This is what I  could find:
1. LMS was a subsidiary of Ceylon Petroleum Cooperation.  However the land where the LMS is physically located was not under LMS account but under Sri Lanka ports authority.  This was not a problem for their operations as both were held by the government.

2. The government then decided to privatize the LMS through the PERC - Public Enterprise Reforming Commission. 

3. Government called for bidders.  JKH offered a massive bid which hammered all other bidders.  Finally the bid was closed selecting JKH as the potential buyer.  Deal was made!
