Bond Scam: Dayasiri Lies About Calls, Kiriella Leads Effort To Cow AG’s Dept

Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara openly lied in parliament and hid behind the publicized calls between him and Aloysius which relate to the time period of the COPE sittings.

Dayasiri

However, the Attorney Generals on Thursday publicized the full list of calls which contain 18 calls to and from Jayasekara commencing on 10th July 2015. Jayasekara instead admited to 2 calls and not the entire list of 18 calls. The two calls he admited to were during his tenure as a member of COPE. The total number of calls were 18.

Meanwhile a list of 41 names of MPs who had been in contact with Aloysius has been circulating on social media claiming to be sourced from the Criminal Investigations Department. UNP MPs including the likes of Ajith P Perera based a statement on the list and accusing the AGs department of not putting out the entire list of calls.

However, the Attorney Generals department confined itself to evidence relating to the Bond Scam and the list presented only includes numbers of the members who were in the COPE committee. The Attorney Generals department put forth the entire list of members in the COPE committee and the calls taken for and to Aloysius. In the list only the 5 names revealed had been in contact with Aloysius with the rest of the MPs in the COPE not having had any phone contact with Aloysius.

Jayasekara remained mum about the said calls but admitted that Aloysius “had helped me during the election”.

Kiriella

Jayasekara did not disclose any of these facts, nor the fact that he now admits about the meeting with Aloysius to his leaders or the COPE committee before.

The full list of calls provided to the Attorney Generals include 227 between Sujeewa Senasinghe, 2 between Ajith Perera ( Only during COPE time- no other calls), 73 between Hector Appuhamy 176 between Harshana Rajakaruna and Aloysius in total during the years 2015- 2016.

The call list includes damning evidence against Ravi Karunanayake who spoke to Aloysius a whopping 387 times as sitting Finance Minister. Mela Karunanayake had spoken 320 times and the daughters over 20 times each with Arjun Aloysius, who Karunanayake described “had no connection and only met once or twice“.

Lakshman Kiriella meanwhile is spearheading the efforts to raise privilege issues in parliament against the team of prosecutors in the Attorney Generals department for releasing the damning evidence.

Instead of appreciating the efforts of the team to uncover the countries most sordid white collar crime, Kiriella is spearheading the entire effort to quell any further revelation by the Attorney Generals team.

Senasinghe

Earlier, when the Penthouse saga was revealed, Kiriella also attempted to defend Ravi Karunanayake by saying “so what, the only thing wrong was going into live without any knowledge” completely negating the fact that Karunanayake was bribed.

Following Thursdays revelations, Kiriella is continuing his efforts to suppress the investigations the Colombo Telegraph learns. This is despite the fact that “he only went into the penthouse” has morphed into over 700 calls between Aloyisus and Karunanayake and family clearly indicating a nexus into the scam and Karunanayake.

Senasinghe is currently at the center of the saga. Senasinghe did not at any point disclose his affiliations with Aloysius.

Instead it is now understood that Senasinghe was appointed to the 8th COPE committee by the UNP for the only reason as to derail the entire investigation.

Senasinghe in fact did everything possible to derail the previous COPE commitee headed by DEW. Gunasekara too, going so far as to filing action against the release of the report.

Senasinghe and Aloysius first commence contact on July 10th, 2015.

    The JVP should launch a people’s march in support of Kodagoda and de Livera at the AG’s office who led the Bond investigation.

    All citizens groups should go on the streets and ask for Bond Scam Ranil Wickramasinghe to be IMPEACHED for GRAND LARCENY at Central Bank.

    Ranil’s cronies – Kirella, Senasinhe, Bondscam footnote artist Harsha de Silva, Eran who wanted to sell Sri Lankan Airlines to Texas Pacific Group a hedge fund should all be impeached too

      JVP is now surviving by eating ‘Ali Beti’ (Elephant Shit). They will not organize protest marches against this government on burning issues in the country. Instead they focus on SAITEM which is an issue only to a tiny minority of people. That has been highlighted as a national issue to diver attention of people from Bond Scam

      well well… this Bond scam and day light robbery have exposed so many actors who was showing as squeeky clean and now need to hide the family jewels as they were caught pants down bigtime.

      Those good boys of Yahapalanaya – Eran W, Sujeewa S, Harsha D., etc etc., is no more less than Panikkiya Weerawansa who showed what a low level the so called Law Makers of this paradise isle can go into.

      Considering the fact that P. Weerasansa and those mentioned above with good family and educational backgrounds., its is hightime that the masses need to throws all these in the political dustbin.

      It may well go into the MARA regime Daisy Achchi with ‘bag of Gemstones’ level….

    Ranil is trying to evade any future legal action against him. That is why he made Bond Commission to seek the assistance of the Attorney General to question him citing protocol. This is a daylight abuse of power. After AG’s questions, Ranil will be able to sweep all allegations against him under the carpet because AG will never go against Ranil. If he is clean Ranil should have the courage to face the Bond Commission without his title as the Prime Minister. Going before the Commission as the PM will only act in his favour.

      You are a terrible liar Champa. even worse than Wimal Weerawansas “Lanka C news” Now it can define as Wimal Weerawansas “Lanka Champa’s News” There was no media reports that RW made Bond commission to seek assistance of the Attorney General to question him citing protocol. RW came forward to assist the commission on his own and not the other way around. Also he came before the Batalanda commission as well. I think you wanted Dappula De. Livera to question RW. The Chairman of the Commission Justice K.T Chithrasiri and Justice Presanna Jayawardana publicly condemned the bad attitude of Dappula De Livera P.C and said they have never seen such a bad behavior during their carrier 37 and 32 years respectively.

        Oh yeah, yeah, are you trying to tell the country that Ranil was not aware it was AG who is going to question him? AG is coming directly under Ranil’s orders. AG can’t act independent. Go, get a life, man. This is another one of Ranil’s dirty tricks. You are too lapati to cover up the rogue’s deals.
        .
        Man, people are more intelligent than you and Ranil. Any fool can see that Ranil was not honest in his voluntary offer to go before the Commission. Ranil offered to give evidence, before Bond Commission summoning him, to save him from embarrassment. This whole issue is a disgrace to the country.
        .
        Dappula, who received much accolades from people, is the best person to question Ranil. The Bond Commission Judges wanted to keep Dappula away in order to save Ranil and his government from facing more humiliating revelations through Dappula’s bold questioning style. Without argument, Dappula should be the next AG.
        And, I think the President is also playing a very light “game” via the Bond Commission. :D

        Lapatiyo,

        Champa is a person who has long been practising the oldest profession.

        So we dont even need to excite about his comments. He thinks a school drop out who has not the least knowledge about world politics – I mean Wimal Buruwasnse may be the highly knowledgble person.
        Even olvel levels school children would know it better whether Wimal BUruwanse has been uttering the truth. But these men seem to have NOT learnt it yet.
        This is the saddest truth in this nation.
        If anybody would east cowdung, all others just hearing that would want to taste it.
        These buffaloe majority folks would take really long to grasp it.

        On one hand, if people like Dayan Jayathiliaka or other like personalities cant sense it yet, ho wcan the average mind set would get it.

        NO miracles can expected from a nation of this nature.

        God bless srilanka !

Some people say, initially he completed only the Grade elevan. Ask him how many sibjects he passed A/L .

          It was Wimal who made Sinhalese display their patriotism visibly. Before that many Sinhalese were used to mind their own business or there were only knee-jerk reactions. Now at least people check and discuss what is happening in the country. Every common man now talks about federal constitution and devolution of power. I saw a clip where an ordinary man even comparing devolution of power with distribution of fuel. In 2015, it was Wimal who initiated this change in people’s mentality. Country is still at the same place, but masses have moved forward at a greater speed. For decades, Wimal has been giving the necessary leadership to patriotic masses. I am very proud of him and also very happy about the path people have chosen for the better.

            We will hang Wimal in the days to come – we means the law and order in the country. I have no doubt about that. There are increasing amount of evidence of all the high criminal issues he has been made complicient. Wait and see, I have no doubt the man has no future in the country, since the bunch of thugs and their life have been cornered now and in the days to come more.
            You may even taste the kakka of the kind of born idiots such as Wimal but he has done only rabblerousing jacking his pay masters that is it. At the time bugger entered lanken politics, he had no cnt in pocket but ballige putha allowed him to fatten his pocket by every means. Never ever he had joined to entourages, but he happened to the costs of people s sums. All these the bugger has forogtten…. anyone with a little brain would see, from what he has been uttering in terms of anything is justan another drama only. – just to twist the mind sets being on the pay master s pay rolls that is it. People then start trusting all what this bugger has to say. This man is a living bomb to lanken soceity. Only way out would to keep him in a jail for the rest of his life.
            Time will come all of us to see it sooner than later. wait and see…

      Ranil disgraced the esteemed position of Prime Minister. Ranil is the mastermind of the Bond Scam. He will find ways to protect his partners in crime. AG is demeaning his position by coming to the Bond Commission. Bond Panel of Judges have already restricted Dappula by criticizing him unfairly. Everything has set up to cover the real culprits. People thought COPE is impartial. Aloysius has bought COPE members too. When the scenario is like this, nobody can place faith in the Bond Commission. Bond Scam case should be heard in the Courts.
      .
      What Wimal says is true. Every time there is a case against the Government, something else happens in the country to deviate people’s attention from the most important matter. The latest is Gintota to distract people from Ranil’s appearance before the Bond Commission and stunning revelations of phone conversations of COPE members with Aloysius, leaving the country shocked. Luckily Gintota incident didn’t go as planned. Before that when Federal Committee Report was debated, a fuel crisis came out of the blue. Then some months ago, there was a spate of incidents of attacks involving Muslim business places. Sometime ago, when Ravi’s NCM was about to take place, Salawa armoury blast happened. There were many more. I think it is not done by the government directly, but with government’s full backing, another group is carrying out these in support of Ranil.

        Mna or woman Champa. this is how your mind set is made.

        Even in europe if PMs or Presidents would have been asked to give statements, they would do it without any shys.

        That is the style of politics that the PM has been trying to make in the country but filled with Champas.

        I could have more respect to Mafia king, if he behaved so humble as PM of the day has been.
        But never the bugger thought that should have been.. he behaved above the laws.

        This is real GOOD GOVERNANCE champo. :dont even disgrace to olderst profession even if you have been forced to practise it.

    It is not rocket science to understand the entire current UNP leadership is involved in this Bond Scam. In a way this is far worse than the performance of the previous lot as this lot came to power promising `Yahapalana’ – to eradicate corruption.

    Any person who intends to vote for the UNP under these circumstances at any future elections would only encourage these corrupt lot to further steal from the tax payer. It will also confirm the perception by politicians that Sri Lankan voters are absolute fools and they can get away with any wrong doing.

    Does these so called telephone calls had any negative impact on Final COPE report? As par as we are aware all COPE members agreed on COPE final report. UNP MP’s did not agree with some points in the report and foot notes included in the report as a result. Remember without COPE Chairman’s consent foot notes shouldn’t have included in the final COPE report.
    On the other hand Mahinda Rajapaksha visiting walikada prison every the other day to check well beings of his former comrades. From Basil Rajapaksha, Namal Rajapaksha, Wimal Weerawansa, Jayatha Samaraweera, Udaya Gammanpila, Lalith Weerathunga, Anusha Palpita, Gamini Senarath to Anura Senanayaka and many others. They all were accused of Money Laundering, Misuse of State properties, buying Assets and properties without disclosing source of income and killing people. Since they are not political prisoners why Mahinda Rajapaksha take pain to visit walikada Prison? Does that mean he is also involved in crimes done by his comrades?

      It is a pain to see people like you exist in Sri Lanka. Oh my God, look at the second para of your comment. What right do you think you have to criticize a politician visiting a prison? What right do you have to restrict freedom of travel of another citizen? Haven’t you ever seen Tamil politicians visiting terrorists? Do you believe that “they are also involved in terrorism done by their comrades”? (I used your same line.)
      .
      Your comment on COPE shows that you know nothing about COPE which was establish to observe financial conduct on Public Enterprises. Of course the phone calls given to Alosius by COPE members are totally unethical which directly have a bad effect on the integrity and credibility of them. Therefore, they should be removed from the Committee forthwith. Every MP is answerable to general public. Therefore, I don’t see any fault with media for divulging the culprits.

    All this info is v.interesting.No doubt. But can the AG/CID also release the same info/data on the telephone calls between the President’s Office and the Police on the night Thajudeen was murdered? Also the calls made during the day Lasantha was murdered? Why are feet being dragged over this? BTW Did Ravi K speak to Aloysious 387 times to ask him why he spoke to his wife 320 times? Sujeewa Stinks and so do the rest of these “callers”. The point is they can still continue to receive all the benefits and privileges of an MP paid with the tax payer’s monies which they have all conspired to also rob!

    This article did not discuss many things. they did not check yet RAVI the LIAR’s phones, Malik ssamaraawickrama’s and KAbir Hassim’s phones etc., Particularly communication between Petn house RAVI and RANIL the GANG LEADER.
    Kiriella and another MP, Prof Marasinghe are bringing up Parliamentarians privilages with respect to information getting out. In reality, all these people should have stepped down. Now, there are 41 law makers. How can people trust these people knowing they are looters. Particularly they say RAnil is the second citizen.. but, Sri lanka is the only country in which the second citizen is established as robbing banks and making banks bleed. So, what economic development when banks are bleeding. In reality Kiriella, Ashu Marasinghe all should step down as they are not trust worthy peoples’ representatives.
    It looks Mahinda Rajapakse is also shaken as he is talking many things. Probably he is saying indirectly please don’t take my name.
    Anyway who is TANGO and CAR. Those things did not come out.
    Ranil is simply shameless. Otherwise, why he is scared to go to three judges who are doing a very good job.
    It is also unfortunate, two judges showed their professional jealousy against Dappula Livera who was doing a fantastic job.
    What people expect from three judgers is gang up and get the truth from these thives who bankrupt the country. This year economic growth is 0.0%.

    On a separate matter, Sagala is trying to initiate negotiations with other countries to arrest and bring down murderers and notorious underworld kingpins who are abroad. He must be mad. Why do we want them back? Instead we should blacklist them so that they will never be able to return to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is better without them. What will happen is, they will hire a prominent lawyer, pay him handsomely and get themselves out. I don’t know why Sagala want that to happen, unless of course UNP wants to use underworld kingpins in their election campaign.

    There are two issues.
    a] Do people count the No: of calls that they make and receive?
    b] Why is the AG NOT CONCENTRATING ON THE BIGGEST FRAUD ever committed by the MaRa clan in Srilankas History and selectively taking up cases that that have propped up recently?
    c] Assuming the Bond Scam took place during the regime of MaRa would there have been such a hue and cry?
    d] Why the hell is this Yahapalanaya Govt: dragging their feet to rope in the massive fraud of the previous regime in the first instance?

    Kiriella is thinking that the public are idiots just as he is. He implies that the PM office did not negotiate with the AG’s office asking only the AG can question him and not the three judges. PM is offering his services voluntarily. otherwise, PM does not need to go there.
    both Kiriella and one Ashu Marasinghe bring parliamentary privileges with respect to what MPs have talked with Arjun Aloesius. They should understand that Thieves or looters MUST not have parliamentary privileges. It is Sri lanka like country in which the corrupt are law makers, those things are allowed. If not what Kiriella and Ashu MArasinghe said are the beginning of big scandle investigations. they should have stepped down and Law enforcement should investigate what they were hiding. Sri lankan prestitutes are also dumb chicken and they do not ask proper questions except to show off, they do not publish most things. I don’t think sinhala rural south understand most of these.
    What happeened was the first citizen of the country in the previous govt was far corrupt than the Ferdinand Marcos. Ranil tried to do the same did not prosecute the mega thieves instead he tried to do the same. Kiriella, sena Wijesinghe like people are milking it.

    It says behind all these Maithripala Sirisena also also has allocated Rs 600 million to advertise his Grama Shakthi program and the contract has been given to his Daughter’s advertising agency, no calling tenders at all. already 3.5 million has given for some advertising and they want 2 million more. I am thinking why a president needs advertisement for his good work. IT is govt money using to make his daughter rich as well as to make him win again. Rajitha Senarathne who is well known for selling fishing harbours, during the last govt, far below its’ worth, has done the same thing to SL Pharmaceutical Manufacturing corporation (SPMC). Saying it needs upgrades he has closed it for over two years and he has given the contract to a friend of his who is importing drugs from India. He has lied to the Cabinet about it saying SLMPC was closed for machine upgrades. the truth is it is not closed yet.

      Why do think I in the business of defending horas, war criminals, racists, bigots, fascists, …………….. Unlike you I never defended any one of those crooks.

      Hypothetically speaking, will you be using the same strategy to defend your long list of horas, war criminals, clan, yourselves, ………………?

    If the Bond Scam case is referred to courts by the Comic commission! well the case is lost coz there is no proof to indict anybody. Only insider trading done by Arjun Mahendran and son in law so they will have to answer.

    Well the game plan by hitang, hutang is clear.

      Brilliant comments Neesha and well said.

      The game plan is to destroy the UNP by whoever. Hold elections right now without dilly dallying and postponing elections.

      Whoever who has done mass scale fraud should be dealt severely by courts with long jail sentence up to 20 years without parole.
