GK depositors in for bonanza

by Shirajiv SIRIMANE

The Golden Key depositors have been assured that their dues would be repaid in installments.

President of the All Depositors Association, Dushanthi Hapugoda said that this is the best news they received after nearly two years.

We were just paid in driblets and there was no concrete plan to settle our dues. However with this proposed re-payment plan we are assured that we would get a larger share from our deposits, she said.

She said that the former CEO of Golden Key, Karvan Perera has assured they would also be paid an interest of six percent. According to the settlement plan which is being proposed 30 percent of the total deposit would be paid this year in two installments. This would be made in June and December. The remaining deposits would be made in the following three years.

This would be done through selling of assets and revenue collected by formulating a Golden Key Holding Company. We must also thank President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Secretary, Lalith Weeratunga, Governor Ajith Cabraal and Attorney General Mohan Pieris. She also added that they were very disappointed with the some of the Ceylinco high ranking officials who were turning a blind eye for this issue.
