A complaint was filed today with the Bribery Comission against financial frauds committed by the Rajapaksa brothers, sons and several other top officials of the Rajapaksa regime .
JVP MPs today lodged a complaint at the Bribery and Corruption commission against some members of the Rajapaksa regime, while calling upon the Commission to suspend the respondents’ foreign trips until probes against them are concluded.
We see Johnston, Yapa, Dullas, Wimal, Gnanasara and a few others in the same calibre as leaders of the battle plan.
JVP MPs Vijitha Herath and Sunil Hadunnetti today named Mahinda Rajapaksa, Namal Rajapaksa, Basil Rajapaksa, Gotabaya Rajapaksa and several other top officials/institutions of the Rajapaksa regime including former Central Bank governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal, Carlton Super Sports Club, Former Consumer Affairs Minister Johnston Fernando, Former Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardhana, Tourism Board Chairman Senanka Gunawardena, Sri Lanka Ports Authority, Tourism Promotion Bureau Chairman Rumy Fouzer, National Lotteries Board and the former Director General of the Economic Development Ministry.as the respondents of their complaint.
The list of charges made against the respondents in the complaint are as follows:
Using finances of the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Board to promote UPFA candidates who were contesting for the Western and Southern provincial council polls, through advertisements published in the Dinamina newspaper on March 12 and 13 last year.
While owing millions of money as tax payments to the Treasury, the Carlton Lotto Sports Club has instead imported luxury cars using the tax concessions and non-payment of taxes for the 500 machines that were imported.
The CLSC’s several other financial misappropriations includes a payment of 123,000 USD due to be made to the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission.
Irregularities committed in awarding contracts to print lottery cards and adding additional expenses than the benchmark costs for the printing to contractors without following a proper tender procedure.
Mahinda Rajapaksa generating money off hedging deals upon holding ransom, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation
Purchasing financial bonds from Greece despite full knowledge of that country’s economic crisis and thereby gaining financial benefits.
Water management projects in several areas including Middenya and Deniyaya awarded without following a proper tender procedure and submitting additional expenses for the constructions than the benchmark cost under direct interventions of Namal Rajapaksa
Committing financial frauds in holding the Divineguma National Convention last year in the Hyde Park Grounds.
Printing some 5 million almanacs bearing Mahinda Rajapaksa’s image using finances of the Economic Development Ministry.
Appropriation of lands within the Colombo City limits illegally and non-payment of proper compensation for the land owners.
The MPs have requested the Bribery and Corruption Commission to probe into the asset declarations of the respondents and to take necessary legal action against them if found guilty

Wimal Buruwansa s mouth piece even that underestimated, louding that Maithreepala Sirisena would become the head of security guards after their man won, can you imagine ? Their expressions in sinhala filthy did not find any limits.

Gundabaya Rajapakse- the monstrous Demon who threatened the then Sunday Leader Editor Frederica Jansz should be accounted for all his crimes.. especially for the terrible killings at Welikada Prison. Ohhhh…Still I couldn’t sleep the way his goons in Khaki Uniform raining bullets on that trishaw coming out of the prison.

Also dont forget Johnie was a original UNPer and was the minister of Trade of Ranil W govt… so there will be enough Johnies in this Govt too.

No , he was the sports minister in Ranil’s government. Ravi K was minister of Trade (another dodgy character).

Srilal@,
What happened to that Pawithra ? She promised she would sell her house if MS would win. Her arguments are not second to those of Mahindananda who once attacked Derana nalika openly… I am so glad to see if Jonsten, Mahindananaya, Pawithra would get their convictions soon. CID must have to get all the assets taken by the named abusers back .. and use for the benefit of the Rajarata Kidney patients health.

Odd that they are filing complaints against people who have not crossed over. What about those who crossed over to Maithri?
/
MNZ / January 13, 2015
Paul, who are they?
If you possess some kind of evidence/information about any wrong-doers, then the JVP as well as the JHU’s Anti-Corruption Front would be happy to initiate prosecution.
/
Snowden Edward Asange / January 13, 2015
whether or not they crossed over. THOSE involved in corruption should be brought to book and all monies earned to be taken back and handed over to teh Central Bank to be used for teh benefit of the masses.. This is what was told to the people by MS and Co… Like he said before the elections HE SHOULD HAVE closed the gates of the airport. Why did he let Basil leave from an airport, well Gota left on an airforce plane not from an airport I believe. What the JVP is doing, should have been done by the those in power…
/
Uthungan / January 14, 2015
The reason why the JVP must have decided to not join the My3 government imay be because many of those rats who jumped The MR ships are crooks and what makes you think complaints will not be filed against them in future.
First priority has to be given to those who are likely to escape through the VIP langue at BIAP.

That is why they crossed over! and that is why Champika is screaming, come over or we prosecute you. This presidency means nothing without the SLFP/UPFA and now they are desparate.
As long as MR is at the helm os SLFP they know they are not secure.

If the chsrges are of serious nature will the Bribery commissioner take steps to ban their leaving the country as a first step?

Gaj / January 13, 2015
I think this is a good start to keep the new government in check! Of course some of the UNP guys are no saints! They too need to be check mated if necessary. Either the JVP remains in the opposition or create a ministry against corruption?? JHU too should do the same. Anyway the MPs who have to support the 2/3 majority are mostly corrupt! There is a Sinhala saying that you kiss the hand that you cannot cut! Does it mean these scum dogs will not be investigated and charged because we need their vote????
JVP should open cases against drug criminals like Mervyn, Dumiya, political rapists, child abusers, stock market insider dealers and others? If Raj Rajaratnam can go to jail why not the wheeler dealers? If Jaylalitha can go to jail why not Dimu? Can MR still hide under the executive powers?? Ranil cannot promise anything? Prosecution and persecution have different meanings. It is not revenge! Compassion and accountibility cannot be mixed up! Ranil uncle remember none of you have executive powers don’t use executive powers to forgive people!

did they not bring any one of these when the horses were in the stable.?
Were they also frightened of the white van?

Why are these SOB’s allowed to escape.
It is like closing the stable gates after the horses have escaped ?
The Four houses in California ?
We in the United States, are struggling to pay our mortgages, doing an

President Obama should confiscate ill gotten wealth of these criminals
and put back into the coffers of the S/L Central Bank.
Bravo JVP…Hope others will follow suit !

Rajapaksas didn’t waste time in going to Bribary commotions to complain of Chandrika and Premadas corruptions. Rajapaksas came with a plan to eradicate terrarisam and develop the country. What is this tep. Regime planned for the three months??? The stock exchange is crashed already and the development work is at stand still??? We have to take it back as soon as possible…

“Rajapaksas didn’t waste time in going to Bribary commotions to complain of Chandrika and Premadas corruptions.”
How could he when he was going to do the same,but on a much bigger scale.
“Rajapaksas came with a plan to eradicate terrarisam and develop the country.”
What plan?can you tell us what plan he had when he took office in 2005.He did nothing while prabha was killing 2 soldiers a day.Finally when the mavil aru water cut took place and the farmers did not get water only he woke up and did something to take control of it.
From the day he took office Fonseka and Gota was trying to convince him that the LTTE can be defeated,but he was skeptical.Luckily for him the war victory fell on his lap because prabha pushed his luck too far.
As for the plan for development that you speak about did all the white elephants in hambantota pass a cost benefits analysis.We paid much higher interest rate to china compared with india and no jobs even for our folk with all the chinese labour.They came with a plan alright to use the development as a route through which they can make money.

Shankar,
So you admit both Chandrika and premadasa were corrupt. Have we checked how much corrupt they really were??
As a sinhalise Buddhist , I will always be greatful to president Rajapaksa for eradicating terrarisam from this land.

shankar / January 15, 2015
Lasanda
Are you grateful to Gen Fonseka or not?I suspect not because you put him in jail to sleep on the floor while elevating the terrorist who killed 600 policeman and countless numbers of muslim and sinhala civilians,as the SLFP deputy leader and honorable cabinet minister.
Strange way the sinhalese have of showing their gratitude eh?
I’am also grateful for eradicating terrorism,but to fonseka and other officers like shavendra & co and most importantly the soldier.
You are grateful to a man who has plundered the country with white elephants that future generations have to pay forever and who took credit for the war victory from someone else and put him in jail.
I have to admit that gota too contributed to the victory with his co ordinating of the three forces and insistance on retaining fonseka whom mahinda wanted to get rid of every year when his extension came up.
Where you and i defer is where our gratitude lies and how to show it.
I want the soldiers never to lose their jobs and given some work as gota did.That is the way to show gratitude to them who saved us.
/
Lasanda / January 15, 2015
Shankar,
Rajapaksas never forgot the soldier. I am greatful to all soldiers including Sarath Fonseka.
The country needed a leader who didn’t bow to western pressure at the time of war.
The war in the jungles were fought by the soldiers and the western pressure was stopped by a leader like president Rajapaksa. Both had to be their to eliminate the war from our country.
So ,yes I will be grateful to Rajpaksa and soldiers equally.

shankar / January 15, 2015

What western pressure are you talking about?After september 11 the whole ball game changed.The LTTE was viewed as a terrorist organisation and proscribed because that idiot prabhaharan did not change his way after the environment changed.The western powers considered his use by date up because he became a stumbling block towards a political solution due to his inflexibility to the goal of eelam.The indians also had it in for him for killing rajiv.only some guys like david millibrand put on a show of doing something just to satisfy the tamil diaspora,but the US is the key player that leads the pack and it had enough of terrorism.The way mahinda handled the US was shocking putting all his cronies into the foreign service and we are now paying the price for that with the US leading the pack against us now.
The western and indian governments actually helped mahinda beat the LTTE.They never tried to hinder the effort except at the last stage when the civilians were corralled up in the no fire zone,when the US wanted more caution without massacring the civilians.Ultimately that also was botched by mahinda and we all will have to pay for that someday one way or another because it is being used by the western powers to blackmail us for their own purposes.
I know for a fact that LTTE could not even purchase a anti aircraft missile in the west and guys who tried to were arrested and charged.
India gave all the information of the LTTE floating ship arms warehouses in the high seas from which they unloaded the arms into smaller vessels,and the navy was able to sink them.
see the amount of support mahinda got,,and you are talking of pressue.
/
Lasanda / January 16, 2015
Shankar,
Western pressure:
West never wanted a strong leader in Srilanka.
West never wanted Sri lanka to be a friend of china.
They never wanted us to have an organized strong army,navy and air force.
They may have given weapons and called LTTE terrorists, but they never wanted us to eliminate the terrorists.
They did or do not want a china friendly country in the Indian ocean.

What about Dammika Perrera.
He is a Rajapaksa chum, that is why Gota sent the army to suppress the protests in Weliweriya.

Its true they need to keep the soldiers occupied but respected too;they fought tooth and nail;;;the corruption needs to be attended;jvp is an example we need to follow;they are practising what they preach and very sincere to see the masses wellbeing;;maybe they gave a few not so good guys high portfolios to watch how they will succeed with the current problems due to their experience;and partaking too;in comparison to the development and the money squandered is a marked difference;we are struggling ;there are many elderly folks thrown out of their homes staying in the streets; expensive brand name shops ;too xxxpensive to look ;just for their goons they catered all these;;hope and pray corruption is wiped out ;and all brought to justice ;even the present ones;;and if there are problems caused by any community to be tacked diplomatically and finally making srilanka drug free

How did they let the 15 percenter (Basil) and his wife get away to Los Angeles to the safe hiding in their 5 million dollar home. Google has pictures of this property, in his wife’s name of course!
As a US citizen, unless he is a murderer they let him enter. But I hope that the SL government initiates investigations on embezzlement and extradites him, How did an average family living in the USA suddenly become so wealthy? This repugnant family beats even the Hussein family, the Marcos family, and IdiAmin, in the way they abused power and ransacked SL so brazenly and arrogantly. . Unfortunately 45% of the country still blindly worships them. How sad is that? The end of a 30 year civil war was a relief. No argument there. But how can there be in any pride in the arrogance of abuse in the aftermath? How can there be any relief in the fact that country is in greater debt, and that the needs of the poorer masses in and outside Colombo have been neglected?

Both Mahinda Rajapaksa and his brother Gotabaya should be handed over to the International Court of Justice
for war crimes and for the disappearance of thousands of Sri Lankans especially during the last 5 years. The rest of the Rajapaksas along with their cronies should be sent to Welikada prison and through the keys away.
