Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa who visited Welikada Prison this afternoon to see his former Ministers Premalal Jayasekara and Tissa Attanayake as well as UDA official Managing Director, H. R. Amaraweera said that some of them have been arrested on baseless charges.
Mahinda Rajapaksa
“I came all the way from home to see them but I could not visit Jayasekara since he has been transferred to Kuruwita. Amaraweera has been arrested for possessing the weapon he is officially entitled to hold – he was a former Navy official. . .” he said.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued today, he said the corruption allegations that are being leveled against him are completely baseless.
Speaking to the media outside the Prison, he referred to the claim regarding a luxurious airplane worth 16 million USD, which President Sirisena during an interview said was ordered exclusively for the use of MR and said, “No such plane was ever ordered for my use,” he said.
He made the following explanation with concern to the aircraft in question, “When Sri Lankan Airlines ordered new aircraft, Airbus Industries had provided a complimentary VIP conversion kit to install a cubicle with special facilities for special customers on commercial flights which can be installed and dismantled as required. The sum of 15 million USD was only the manufacturer’s indicative value of this kit which is actually provided free . . .”
He also dismissed the allegations of construction ‘palaces’ for himself in various locations of the country and said none of them were constructed for his private exclusive use.
“The Temple Trees, President’s House and the residences in Nuwara Eliya and Kandy were used by heads of State and government since the colonial era. The presidential residences in Anuradhapura, Embilipitiya, Mahiyangana and Kataragama were built by President Premadasa,” he added.
However Sri Lankan Airlines placed orders for 12 air craft with Airbus Industrie consisting of six A 330 and six A 350 in a major re fleeting exercise, one of which was to be fitted in a tailor made fashion for former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s use. The A330 was to be fitted like the Air Force 1 used by the President of USA costing millions of dollars. The fitting necessitates gear to be fitted permanently to the front end of the aircraft which would add at least one tonne in weight even when other interior fittings are taken off when in use for commercial transport. The added weight would inflate the cost per flown mile in addition to lesser yields for the troubled airline, Colombo Telegraph reported last month.

NOTHING in this world is FREE. For Airbus to offer a 15 million $ kit they are NOT out of mind or even pay out of pocket. That is from the INFLATED cost of the actual airplane just like how MR has an inflated EGO. He is trying to hoodwink the same 5.8 million voters who had BLIND faith in him to garner votes at the next elections. I hope the 100 day program includes finding him guilty and sending him to jail, so that he would not be permitted to contest.. oh yes he stripped the right of SF with falsified allegations with the help of his brothers. Even Namal need to be investigated along with Vimal Weere, Johnston Fern, Rohitha Abey, Bandula Gune, Aluthgamage, Vasudeva, Dinesh, Dayasiri and others… Its well past time, 30 days have passed and NO culprit has been arrested n produced in court…

The present govt need to find the best combination to take on the Rajapaksas in a way that the masses have confidence of what they inform for them.
What official spokesman Raitha Senaratna doing is like putting foot in the mouth with half baked stories like Port city project abandones and CJ Peiris have resigned and this make him a joker among the masses like Keheiya.
bTake for the instance this USD16M VVIP kit that can be fixed in less than 8 hours to make it look some sort of a Airforce One kinda facilities and what Pres Maithree informed in that interview with Sannasgala is a new plane fitted to a king for USD16M which is something someone with common sense should not have spoken at all. Forget about getting a Airbus wide bodied plane like A330 or A340 with the basic config for this price of USD16M.
The truth is once SriLanakan ordered few planes this kit was given as a complimentary terms though the new Govt is trying to cancel the VVIP kit and get some other parts like spare parts to cover that 16m.
Other than doing that, they are making things sensational with ignorance and Rajapaksas who still have sympathizers among media is going to make fun of these jokes and get out of the real corruption.
Look what is happening with kudu Duminda? they have the No1 drug baron of Sri Lanka whom the police Narcotics bureau says shipped more than 1000Kgs of heroin and Kudu Dumi was the god father and millions were transferred to his account and even after a month of investigations, this man is let free and all they do is media coverage of this and that.

There are 2 types of corruption and who is talking about them- it is reality not ideal a degree of idealism is necessary for research purposes- reality +dreams +humour is wisdom; on the other- idealism + dreams+/- humour is fanaticism /fantasy/ realism +humour is realism. Add sensitivity to them all is personality.
The west is legalised like the Middle East while there its Shape, shape, ship hora_oru. To open an enterprise in the middle east one finds a local partner as influential as possible and pays him roughly 50% of profits – local does not invest or come to see how you fair and you pay no local taxes- it’s kings and postman’s law (Nasser president pan arab) But under Sharia one cannot lend money on interest and stoning, death etc. West is via employment agency for workers, …head hunters today fill up almost all vacancies … employer corp. pay via agency `0 contract` no worker rights blue… chips keep these working 60 hrs a week for 4 years and jobs in demand by non-speakers of language etc.

You’d have to be naive in the extreme to believe that Airbus Industrie just threw in the conversion kit as a gift. And what is all this nonsense about US$ 16 m being an indicative price only?
MR says that the kit was ‘to install a cubicle with special facilities for special customers on commercial flights which can be installed and dismantled as required’. Now, who are the special customers who were going to fly Sri Lankan? MR and his family? And they would not have even paid and could not be called ‘customers’. But of course, MR clearly considered his family to be ‘special’ – in fact, very special.

Truth is this, Only brainy people can understand. Mahinda followers can’t understand the reality because they are deaf,and blind. He had ordered a expensive aircraft for his personal use.
Airplane industry gave an option whether to choose VIP kit or the other items for the existing plane. He did go for VIP kit because it was his intention to have it. No behave as a baba thinking we believe all lies of him. Actually, he is not ashamed at all. Wasting our money for his super luxury life, leaving our children’s future at risk. How he did all the dirty things to us.

Seems to us he is a power hunger, modern hiter. It is the reason that he is trying to grab the power again. He wants to take a revenge from maitree. Maitree should understand. He is not a honest,country loving man. Mahinda loves himself and his family, he even doesn’t love his party mates. This is the reality.

“A stunning revelation has emerged that Namal Rajapaksa, Hambantota MP and son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, allegedly owns a collection of wrist watches totaling a mammoth Rs. 76 million. Having been photographed at numerous public events wearing different watches, it is believed that he is in possession of as many as 13 high end watches amounting to an average of Rs. 5.9 million per watch. The total cost of the collection of watches is estimated to be around Rs. 76, 989,850 (at the time of compilation).While professing to be a representative of the people, many supporters (and opponents) of the young MP will certainly be wondering how he could afford such luxury on a Member of Parliament’s salary

Moreover you forgot the simple Sinhala Buddhist folks who were the foundation of your victory over LTTE terrorism.

Ratnapala,
I see that you are repeating here your usual anti-Tamil, anti-Muslim and anti-Christian views which you so regularly display on the LankaWeb site.
As for gratitude, the country showed its gratitude to MR when it gave him a very clear victory in 2010. But how did he respond? He gave SL, 18 A which was for his benefit entirely, imprisoned war hero Sarath Fonseka and had the CJ impeached. Of course, he also gave SL such wonderful things like Night Races even in the vicinity of the Dalada Maligawa. He also gave us the Mattala airport and the International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota, both absolute white elephants. People also remember how peaceful protestors were gunned down. The list is not exhaustive. It is futile to try to make a saint of a man who clearly was not. I hope he realises even now the truth of what Lincoln said, ‘you cannot fool all the people all the time’

In the United States they would say ‘there ain’t a thing called

So a free kit from Airbus, Rajapaksa claims, is taken because
they gave it.
What about those ‘unsolicited offers” for mega projects from
the Chinese. Were they also accepted because they were accompanied
by something ‘summa” or ‘free’? That is in millions of dollars?
He thinks Sri Lankans only have kohubath between their ears.Await
more lies from Rajapaksa as more revelations of his corrupt activity

While seated and chatting he had placed it on his lap and when MR got up to leave it had fallen and rolled towards where the Pope has been sitting and the Pope seeing it roll over near him had picked it up and blessed it and returned it to MR. Now the amulet has lost it’s power and MR lost the Presidency. Yet the bugger is squeezing it, expecting he can return to Parliament.

Vedic vajira，Indra’s thunderbolt；
The earliest mention of the vajra is in the Rigveda, a part of four Vedas. It is described as the weapon of Indra, the god of heaven and the chief deity of the Rigvedic pantheon. Indra is described as using the vajra to kill sinners and ignorant persons
Vajra: In Buddhism the vajra is the symbol of Vajrayana, one of the three major branches of Buddhism. Vajrayana is translated as “Thunderbolt Way”[12] or “Diamond Way” and can imply the thunderbolt experience of Buddhist enlightenment or bodhi. It also implies indestructibility,[13] just as diamonds are harder than other gemstones.
Generally in brass but his is in gold like the gun. It is also known as vajram (Tamil), bojro (Bengali), bajra (Malay), dorje (Tibetan),[1][2][3] dorji (Dzongkha), wajra (Indonesian), jīngāng (Chinese), geumgangjeo (Korean),kongōsho (Japanese) and Очир ochir / Базар Bazar (Mongolian).
