Despite relating quite a detailed account of his version of the events that transpired at the Temple Trees on the election night, Udaya Gammanpila today said that he cannot recall whether the de facto Chief Justice Mohan Pieris was present there that night.
Speaking to the media outside the CID headquarters in Colombo today, Gammanpila said there was no attempt to impose emergency regulations but added there was a discussion on whether curfew should be imposed.
“There were concerns about the safety of several UPFA politicians including UPFA Provincial councillor Samanmali Sakalasooriya as a group of UNP supporters had attempted to attack her at a counting center. Several areas in Colombo too were prone to violence and there was a worry on whether the UPFA supporters would be victimized,” he said.
He added that apart from such a discussion, the only other instructions given by the departing President Rajapaksa was to assist in preparing for the swearing in of the newly elected President.
“His only concern was the security of his brother Gotabaya and he carried out a discussion with the present Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on the matter. That is all that happened that night,” Gammanpila said.
However, when questioned by a journalist on whether CJ Pieris was at the Temple Trees he said, “There was a large gathering there that night, so. . . I cannot say for sure whether I saw him there. “

Election Night Coup: Gammanpila Suffers From Duminda Silva Syndrome, He Can’t Remember
If he cant remember things that were a fortnight back, how is he elected to a parliament to the parliament. I hope he remember his parents and family. These are all made up bull shit stories.

This particular Gomanpilla is a dangerous snake of rarity sort. He can destroy everything but abusing people s faith in an unfamilar manner. Very narrowminded, naive man of the UPFA side.

His political life is today in danger since this fellow failed to recognize it yet – the very manner his arguments supported election violators to go on with their agendas will be not oblivious to healthy ones. His is a great example for the other politicians – if you lie with dogs, you would not have anychance to complain on ticks. In coming days, he has to attack his former colleagues – this man will have all shames to do so even if that could stand on the current 100 day programme. Selfish by all natures. This men should be clearly introduced to the nations by media units today.

Zoologists will do their job in the future finding A-Z about this reptilien – wait and see. I am pleased to see as they promised, many of the items set on their agenda are becoming a reality to this day.
a) Prez and Premier apponitments even before the days set on agenda
b) SF to be aquitted with all rights as had been before
c) Appointment of a cabinet not execeeding as had been
d) WOrk on all abuses and corrption- not giving priority to anyone
e) Their hard working charactor – all have been showing it to the top sofar – they are energetic and dynamic
f) Reduction of prices of fuel – with effect from tonight
i) Making every arramgent to go for make price reduction of at least 10 daily essentials – after 29th – following a mini budget
g) Getting united in order to have Constitutional AMDs passed in favour of the future of the country – this almost everyone is now confident that the current regime would make it.

Why to attack the particular novice boy in lanken politics this manner ? We the right thinking ones as we thought things turning its way better towards all who have been waiting for Justice. It is matter of time and prevailing structure of law and order holding them up sans proper invesitgations.

These are the great news: how the beloved proud father abused the funds of the poor for his election campaign.
– as current minister of transport confirm there are over an amount of 1800 lacks stay stand still without being paid to CTB servants.
– but 1900 lacks have been wasted only for MR election campaign.
– If the Proud father loved that much as he stresses – why should he ever have abused this much of funds. How many of the each of those family caused to face all difficulties without gtting paid to them regularly

If the alleged discussions held by GOTA et al was based on precautionary actions against UNP on UPFA, they the authorities taking part in that discussion -now adding information to NEC -NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL would not have kept it away from explaining. But AKD made it clear that a detailed report on the issue will be isseud in a week time – BY mid of next week. These culprits will succeed twisting it to prove other way around should also be clear to the powerful investigative authorities that are in action. People of this country have been gonata andala … made fools sofar for their political survivial. – now has been in a new form of mode of action – seeking sympathy using mourning women to be placed whereever Mahinda is going to be there.

that is true…CT never publishes articles that offer different point of view only stupid ones like that of Mahindapala, Malinda because they can bash the guy together.

But any drivel that helps their aim, they will publish..
Between I read GR’s The Island interview. I even posted it in a different thread. Though GR rejects it, it is pretty clear from his own answer the events are close to what is narrated in media.
Regarding GR fleeing to Maldives and Namal fleeing to china are all false..and they never correct their mistakes.

Gotabhaya responds to allegations
Island.lk January 20, 2015, 8:52 pm
In this interview with The Island staffer C. A. Chandraprema, the former defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa responds to some of the allegations that were made against him in the wake of President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s defeat on Jan. 08.
Q. There is this talk of an attempted coup in the early hours of Jan. 09 morning. What really happened?
A. I went to Temple Trees early in the morning. We had received intelligence reports earlier that opposition activists would surround Temple Trees in the morning regardless of the result of the election. There was a discussion on how to tackle such a situation. The Attorney General’s advice was sought and the Opposition Leader Mr. Ranil Wickremesinghe was also contacted and he said he would be coming immediately to Temple Trees. After his arrival, he had a discussion with the president and it was decided that the president would leave Temple Trees. Mr. Wickremesinghe assumed responsibility for the protection of the president and the others. This was long before the final results were even announced. If there had been an attempt at a coup, why would the Attorney General have been consulted? He gives legal advice to the government.
Q. How is it that a rumour circulated immediately after the election that you had flown off to the Maldives in an air force plane?
A. They must have got wrong information from somebody. I have been at my official residence throughout.
Q. After the election, there was also this talk that you own a house In Mt Lavinia where you were rearing sharks and that neighbours had noticed two bowsers of sea water being transported to that house daily. The dogs in the neighbourhood were also said to be disappearing and people suspected that the dogs were being caught by your people and fed to the sharks.
A. That must be the house of an ornamental fish exporter. I don’t own a house in Mt Lavinia or anywhere in Sri Lanka for that matter. I am now living in my mother-in-law’s house. The adjoining land was given to my wife as a dowry and when I was in the army, we built a house there.
Q. The media reported that the JVP had complained to the Bribery Commission that you had acquired a lot of lands and houses.
A. It is very easy to verify from the land registry who owns a particular house or land. I said a long time ago that if anybody finds a land or a house belonging to me, I will gift it to the person who makes the discovery.
Q. During the election campaign General Sarath Fonseka made various allegations about weapons procurement made by Lanka Logistics during the war. When the former army commander makes such allegations, people may tend to believe them.
A. Such allegations were made even at the 2010 presidential election. Lanka Logistics is fully owned by the Defence Ministry and comes under the purview of the Committee on Public Enterprises of parliament – COPE. It was set up to eliminate private middlemen when purchasing arms. A lot of money was saved as a result of this. When there was a need to buy something, Lanka Logistics would make contact with the supplier and act as the intermediary by comparing prices and so on. Almost all the purchases were made on a government to government basis. Lanka Logistics did not do the actual purchasing. To make the purchase, the usual procedures such as Cabinet appointed tender boards and technical evaluation committees had to be adhered to.
Q. What about this Rakna Lanka security service. An armoury belonging to this organisation was sealed by the police in the BMICH premises.
A. Rakna Lanka is an organisation built up with a lot of sacrifice and effort. This is also a company under the Ministry of Defence. It functions under an additional secretary. It’s a state owned enterprise coming under the purview of the Committee on Public Enterprises of parliament – COPE. It provides a lot of employment opportunities for ex-soldiers. Rakna Lanka got involved in providing security for ships in the Indian Ocean, which is a very profitable operation. Rakna Lanka signed an agreement with Avant Guard a private security firm to scout around internationally for business for Rakna Lanka. Providing maritime security services is a UN-sanctioned activity and there are procedures to be followed. Rakna Lanka provides the personnel, the weapons and the procedures. The procedures are very important. If you give a weapon to a private security company and it is used for an illegal purpose, there is a problem. Rakna Lanka is a profitable enterprise and the profits go to the government. It became the foremost organisation providing security for ships in this region. Destroying this enterprise is a crime!
Q. Then, new Finance Minister has alleged that there is Rs. 8 bn lying to the credit of the Defence Secretary in Bank of Ceylon. What would you say to this?
A. I have already explained that this account is a Defence Ministry account to which the Treasury has transferred the money raised by selling the army headquarters land. The new Defence Ministry complex in Battaramulla is being built with this money. In any case, the Treasury cannot deposit money in a personal account. That account was not in my name. It was in the name of the Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and its present custodian is the present Defence Secretary. The money was in a fixed deposit. It has been in a defence ministry account to facilitate the building of the new armed forces complex without undue delay. The land to build this defence services complex was allocated about twenty years ago. There were even plans drawn up for this during President Chandrika Kumaratunga’s time. So, this complex was in the pipeline for a long time. This account was administered by the Chief Accountant of the Ministry of Defence. The annual balance is reported in the government balance sheet.
Q. The Rajapaksa government never answered allegations made against them during the election campaign. Little wonder so many people thought they were true. Take that story about the helicopters used by the president’s sons for example. The former president made light of it by saying “Oh, I bought helicopters for my sons when they were small.” That was not an adequate answer. You have to spell things out for the public. Instead of making light of the helicopter story, the former president should have told the public how many helicopters there were in the country and how many belonged to the Air Force and how many to private companies and said that his sons didn’t own any helicopters or have Air Force helicopters assigned for their use.
A. There are some private companies that own helicopters or small aircraft. One of them is owned by Sajin Vaas Gunawardene. UNP politicians Daya Gamage and Mayantha Dissanayake also have interests in companies owning helicopters. There are some other helicopter owners as well such as Noel Selvanayagam. The first family did not have any helicopters nor were there assigned air force choppers for the president’s sons to travel in.

They had planned to carry out the conspiracy of creating violence at counting centers and cancelling the election results on the pretext of the safety of Pope and take the whole country under emergency regulations and partial military rule. Fortunately the AG, IGP and Army Commander did not agree to the conspiracy and the country had a narrow shave. This Gamba [Edited out] must be lynched to set an example to the would be traitors.

Leelagemalli / January 22, 2015
This is very right. I have also noticed that many a times. He did not even allow his rival invitees for the political discussion – not once almost every time he was on those conversations. Most of the all, even if it was made very clear that taking Gota onto Gommmapila s election stage – Gommanpila never accepted it as a greater mistake. Only within a frame work of MR regime could allow such public arrangance of law makers. No means this could be examples to the nations. Newly elected president made it very clear that Politicians should be exemplary by all means whenever whatever they do before the nation – was violated by Gommapila under his beloved MR – it was all because MR never showed that politicians should be exemplary. Mervin, Wimalwaeerawanse, Kumaradarmasena or the like to have moved on attacking the rivals to that uncivilized manner using all filthy langauge was allowed to them by MR directly. It was like open licences were given to create communal violence by their speeches. This BBS monks abused – going further step – holding only hate speeches against muslims. Had I been a muslim from BERUWALA, I surely would have become a killer to this day being unable to bear the rains of hatreds sowed by BBS backed by Gotabaya and MR regime. There were enough prima facie evidence to go against BBS culprits but nothign was taken serious by MR or the ministry which was responsible – howeer, I myself di not know whether any of the ministries functioned well within LAST 5 years. Today having listened to the discussions made by Prof. Rajeewa Wijesinghe as current Minister of Higher education, I was proud to see that have happened as many of us wished -right man to have been chosen to the right position.

It is this same frog (jumping from side to side to gain advantage with no principles) who stated in yesterday’s Island newspaper, (I quote), He (Gamanpila) said that …… he can bring 430 people to protest opposite Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka’s office for allegations of fraud, murders and sexual misconduct against him for the last 15 years”.
If this half-wit cannot recall events of two weeks ago, how on earth can he remember incidents that happened 15 yrs ago.

More evidence! The 3000 odd number of missing weapons from BMICH etc. armouries, the misterious flights by MR and Namal are all matters to be investigated.

Udaya is a joker in true sense. He pretends to not see, not hear, not understand etc but calls himself a lawyer. During the time of the WP elections he contested as a candidate and indicated as the Chief Ministerial candidate. In his first meeting Gotabahaya was on his stage and when this was reported to the election commission, he said he did not know that the a civil servant cannot get involved in elections. After he is a lawyer and not sure how he passed his exams.
He imagines that he can fool the masses with jokes.
