SLT to get its dues: Minister
Posts and Telecommunications Minister D.M. Jayaratne told Parliament that action has been taken to collect the Rs. 800 million due to Sri Lanka Telecom by one of its UK-based joint ventures - the providers of the Sigiri card that provide cheap international calls to Sri Lankans residing in Europe.

The minister made the comment when the issue was raised by UNP's Moneragala district MP Dharmadasa Banda who referred to the article in The Sunday Times of November 26 titled "SLT draws debt fresco on Sigiri card."

Mr. Banda said this was a dangerous trend when insolvent companies try to do business in the country and added such companies should not be allowed into the country.
