Discussion over a mysterious printing press in a Navy camp

A discussion has now commenced on certain media about a mysterious printing machine that has been recently purchased by the ruling party.

The report was first published on Lanka News Web stating that a newly purchased high tech printing machine from Germany was to replace an existing printing machine at the Welisara Navy Camp.

The purchase, installation and operation of this new machine were reportedly being carried out by a son of a powerful member of the government and a group of selected navy personnel.

German experts were also to be brought down to install the printing press.

However, following reports in the web media as well as a private electronic media channel, the printing press was to be transferred on Wednesday (3) to another location.

According to reports, the press was to be taken to the Navy camp in Trincomalee by a group of selected navy personnel.

However, there were doubts on whether the printing machine would be taken to Trincomalee or a secret location due to the prominence received by the matter in the media.

Private television station, TNL TV reported on this issue and highlighted that a public discourse has commenced over the newly acquired printing press and doubts were cast whether it was brought to print material targeting the forthcoming Presidential election.
