The Board of Inquiry into the misappropriations of Sri Lankan Airlines has revealed the former President’s brother-in-law Nishantha Wickramasinghe in his capacity as the Chairman of SLA, misappropriated funds of the institution to lease three houses which he had used for ‘other purposes’.
Nishantha
The BoI report notes that Wickramasinsghe first appointed as a Director who was then appointed as the Chairman by PB Jayasundara, had been paid a monthly allowance of Rs. 500,000 along with other perks although his conduct has been described as ‘appalling’ in several aspects even by the CEO Kapila Chandrasena.
The BoI team states that there was no apparent justification for the former Chairman to have engaged on a full-time basis. The Chairman however had said that it was the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa who wanted him to be in SLA on a full-time basis but that the CEO and other officials have not been able to give any reasons as to why he was appointed on a full-time basis.
Wickramasinghe had been paid a monthly housing allowance which had not been specified. Investigation has revealed that he exploited this loophole to the maximum through which he had required the SLA to lease three houses in Ja-Ela, Andiambalama and Seeduwa, justifying the leases stating that since he visits the SLA office at night he has to live in those houses.
When he was confronted with the electricity bill of each house, he had said he lived in those houses alone. However, Major General Chandrawansa’s statement has made it evident that Wickramasinghe was lying since he had stated that the Chairman was using the houses for ‘other purposes’.
The former President’s brother in law had also been provided with a company car (Mercedes Benz bearing no: KL 4449) but he had also assigned for himself two other vehicles through loan agreements SLA entered into with certain other financial institutions. A Montero (no WP KV 3836) had been secured by submitting fraudulent documents and a Prado (no: WP CAB 707 ) had also been acquired.
He had also been provided with a driver, fuel allowance and a company mobile. However, apart from the entitled allowances, he had obtained a phone connection an Apple iPad and six other phones, which he still hasn’t handed over despite resigning on January 9.
The inquiry team also notes that there is prime facie evidence to support complaints of the Chairman’s ‘personal interest in certain members of the cabin crew’ and he had personally participated in the interview of the cabin crew. There have been complaints of favoritism and inappropriate association between him and certain cabin crew members and the inquiry team has noted that evidence pointing to such behavior has exposed SLA to abuse of power and has even caused reputational risks to the airline as well as financial losses.
The report contains details of one such inappropriate association of Wickramasinghe with a cabin crew member named Chathurika Muhandiram. He had appointed her, without any authority, as a brand ambassador of the SLA.
There has been no such appointment or recognition of such a post officially known to SLA and the CEO as well as the Head of HR have been unable to provide details as to how such a position was created.
Upon inquiry, the cabin crew member in question had said that she was appointed by the SLA but had been evasive and had not wished to speak on how she received her appointment. Wickramsinghe had however justified it crediting it to her competence, talents and had also said that she was related to him and that he knows her since her childhood.
Investigations had revealed that she with Wickramasinghe, travelled to Vietnam for the APOT Asia Forum in 2014 on two business class tickets, which were purchased by the SLA as revenue from another airlines.
BOI team has also noted allegations of sexual harassment that have not been keenly dealt with. The report notes that representations made by victims who made complaints of sexual harassment particularly against persons holding top managerial positions had not been adequately dealt with. The Head of Human Resources Kakulawala had said that in order to find an employee guilty of sexual harassment, the evidence should be proven beyond reasonable doubt and had said that it’s as difficult as proving rape.
The team has noted that such an approach is unacceptable especially when female employees can become vulnerable in the airline industry.

OF course this SOB MUST be hanged or jailed for LIFE.. this scoundrel abused power and used women half his age to have sexual relationships by abusing power. This shameless SOB would have spent thumping amounts to buy Viagra using SLA money..check on that too….
What the heck? how many cabin crew members did he bed? one was Chathurika Muhandiram. the other that we already know of is Nithya Senanaya Samaranayaka wow.. do these women have ANY ethics? what difference do they have compared to street whores? NONE ! All they want is SHOW ME THE MONEY… Seems this Nithya Senanaya has been used as a pillow in a “Pillow passing” competition between Namal baby and his maternal uncle..wonder who out of the two was a better player… What do the parents of these women tell their friends? Oh my daughter is a “AIR-HOE”…sigh.. shame on the parents for not teaching morals to such kids…

Yasmine Samarasinghe / April 11, 2015
I’m relieved abuse of power is being investigated and those found guilty held accountable. But your language and vile subjective views on women is embarrassing. Calling out names like a common gossip, accusing women and judging ethics based on your own set of beliefs is cringeworthy. You sadly are part of the problem on why sexual harassment etc still doesn’t get taken as seriously as it deserves.

Snowden Edward Asange / April 11, 2015
Birds of a feather flock together !
need I say more? Wont be surprised if u r one of the “AIR HOSTESSES” or a parent to such low life adults..what would u know about ethics? So its okay for women to stoop down to the levels of the calibre of women noted I believe…for u CT may be common gossip, for most its not..its an out-let for free speech, seeking truth and information..LMAO at sexual harassment… SO anytime a man who has a spine talks about loose women, he is considered a sexual vulture? FYI….NO I do NOT possess the qualities of Nishantha Wickremasinghe…

Sinhala_Man / April 17, 2015
Yasmine Samarasinghe’s comment is serious and dignified; Snowden, I’m with you in the fight against the Rajapaksas but I’m afraid I can’t support you in this!
Please note that there you have to distinguish among three common categories of persons: male predators, whores, and normal healthy people who have pre- or extra-marital sex. Those are broad catgories: the third actually has two components. The world has today begun to realise that there are lots of other aberrations (my conservative word): Gay, Lesbian, B. & T. I’m not quite sure what it all is; I only know it’s not my business what consenting adults do.
Of course, a lawyer will probably tell you that they are all illegal, punishable by law.

Snowden, I see your point but you really cannot blame these unfortunate girls for the predicament they were in. If they co-operated with the boss they got promoted and if they didn’t they got fired. What were they to do? I am sure there were men involved too to satisfy the leaders who preferred them. I believe there were a few in the previous regime.

Now that Lions have the strength to do it at least 50 times a day, I wonder what the capacity of our friend from the Lion Race, with gold Rolex watch and all, is in that demanding Game of Love in which he seems to have excelled both in land and air. Or did the naaki ilandariya misinterpret the role expected of him – to service the airline industry and not air hostesses.

“justifying the leases stating that since he visits the SLA office at night he has to live in those houses.”
“The report contains details of one such inappropriate association of Wickramasinghe with a cabin crew member named Chathurika Muhandiram. He had appointed her, without any authority, as a brand ambassador of the SLA”

Who on the earth would react like that knowing all the bit better. I think former President behaved as if he did not want to care much about people s funds: Paradoxially hugging and kissing the babies of the poor man to get the attention of them. HOw can people ever be able to trust Mahinda Rajapakshe again ?

Voters capacity – 15 Mio
Voters for Raja – 5.8 Mio
New voters – 0.9 Mio
Voters for MY3 – 6.2 Mio
This means among the voters almost half of them still voted for the idiot – even if united opposition made people clear about the need of a change to chase away the bugger who looted people s funds. But I have the feeling Opposition held just limited number of rallies within the brutal circumstances they faced with those rallies already held. And thus the message to the rural corners have not been outreached. So I bleieve, had the opposition been given more time to make the people aware, the voters would have voted for Raja would have been not even 30%. Our people are not fools from the literary values and their arguments, but they need more time to think considering rights and wrongs. And even if it had been seen that media freedom was some extent there, there had not been it as it is the case for the today s opposition. Most of the time, they thought held press briefings, not much was read on the news papers of the following day. Needless to say it was public secret that they forced media men to react in favour of them only princip. All in all – even today many to back the mafia family who looted it mercilessly is beyond alL understanding. There only I ask why these people let fall that deep. I really dont know… EITHER they are born fools or lack

True !! There was NO media freedom and it was ONLY one sided..

Can you imagine – if you would raise the question today how had it been prior to 8th of Januaray, they even your family ones would behave as if they have forgotten everything. That is their nature. If People of a country are well informed and steady minded, specially ones living in rural areas, MR would not have abused the nation to the manner. If the current rulers would not pave ways future leaders not to allow the blunders repeated by Musalaya Rajapakshe, the chances to rise up MR like leader also in the future is inevitable. THese men are born parasites. They should be punished for their rest of life. I hate the way the man Mahinda is still roaoming as a man who has done nothing to this nation. Truthfully saying, the damage the man has deliberately made to lankens are bigger than what his term terminated the 30 year CIVIL war. None of these men should be given any chances to enter the politics again. Ballah is ballah he would never change himself.

THis man, Nishantha W, has provided enough material for the present government to put an end to the second coming of MR’s political ambitions, if the matter is intelligently handled and speedily & efficiently executed.
Nishantha W and Basil Rajapakse should seal the issue, even though none of the other allegations against the other Rajapakses are investigated.
If despite all this, the government does nothing, very soon and that is, much faster than you think – scandal fatigue will set in and people will lose their entire interest in this current government and its activities.

All these activities are wrong and should be punished. All responsible should be jailed and money recovered.
Surely the are many more important issues to be reported rather than a chairman flying with a stewardess.
The airline made a loss of Rs 100 bn during the 5 year period from 2010 to 2014. A further loss of Rs 20 bn for the year 31 March 2015. April 2015 loss is Rs 2 bn.
I have not seen anything in the BOI report which is the root cause for these losses.
What is reported by BOI is a stewardess doing election work and another stewardess flying with chairman.
Hold the Board of directors, management, Ministry of Aviation and Ministry of Finance, Internal audit and External audit responsible and accountable for the losses over the last 5 years.
There is enough evidence outside the BOI report to hold all of the above responsible.

Am sure Mrs Shrianne Rajapakse would loath Nishanga calling him her brother reading all the contents of these reports. This is the flip side of a family running the country, there is no check and balance. As long as Sinhala Bhuddists who MR claims has got their support, blind to see these squandering of the country as a whole and appalling mismanagement of the national carrier in particular, no one else can stop SL being well and truly being inside the basket, not a basket case anymore. It could have been, had it not for MR’s stupidity calling the Jan 2015 election 2 years prematurely, thanks for the astrologer. The minority joined hands with a fair minded majority saved the country when the first opportunity is given from it becoming a pure patriotic autocratic ruled bankrupt SL.
Looking at what has been happening here, only CBK and Hurinika seems to see MR reelection is a danger and take him head on, others players who promised to bring good governance seems to be willy-nilly. Knowing Basil gets away from the country was made possible by Ranjitha as MR himself puts it both of them were classmate, shows how far the good governance has derailed. What SL needs is all these corrupted and looted money should be brought back in to the national consolidated fund. If the trips the brand manager and Nisanka made no benefit to the country but proven to be for their comfort, mile-high fling and enjoyment, every cents of it should be paid back to the country. If this guy at his late 70 (looks, only guess) behaves like it, what is expected of Namal, Jositha, etc.

Do nopt denigrade the oldest profession and those who w/o sin mat cast the first stone.
That HR opportunists called WELIAMUNA has only this much juicy info to report?
Nishantha Wickramasinghe had helped himself to(03) houses, a couple of vehicles, an Apple Ipad, (06) phones and Chathurika Muhadhiram and Nithiya Senanayake.
ARE THESE FINDINGS TOO LITTLE TO MERIT AN INVESTIGATION FOR CORRUPTION OTHER THAN LEAD THE READERS ON A JUICY TRAIL……..
Wonder whether WELIAMUNA took the liberty of interviewing the air ladies?????? otherwise, all what is said here is hearsay.
Other than the TI $$$$$, wonder how much & whether in cash or kind he is paid for juicy reports for which he had no previous experience.

Use any means you can to put Sri Lanka down. The LTTE are showing their concern for ‘their’ airline’s reputation!

sangam,
I am a employee of SriLankan and yes I know what you said about head of hr is true. Hw is famous for various love affairs including the newest hr manager planning and analytics. She is famous for having affairs to get the limelight even in her past. That’s is just one affair and there are so many more. How can he talk about others ….
Prosecute immediately …. Not a good example for the whole organization

Air [Edited out]stesses at Sri Lankan Air has had a better time than the Ground [Edited out]estesses. If MR comes forward to contest at the forthcoming general election all this news should be provided to the people of the electorate, so they will vote for MR. Great Show!

What is the difference between a Hostess and a [Edited out]stess? May be a new connotation, but both refers to the same category. I see no point in editing out same. The latter might not be in the English Dictionary. That is not good enough a reason. I mean there are many Celonyms in Singlish.
