The scandalous stewardess of SriLankan Airlines, Nithya Senanaya Samaranayaka who was released from the airline to carry out various duties for Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa has been remanded till August 22 by the Colombo Additional Magistrate over money laundering charges amounting to Rs. 45 million in connection to the HelloCorp case. Even though she is also involved in a financial scam at the airline, she has only been formally charged over the money laundering case.
Nithya Senanaya Samaranayaka,
She was arrested and then subsequently remanded for her alleged role in aiding and abetting to commit an offence in her capacity as a Director of NR Consultations and Gowers Corporation, which are all owned by MP Namal Rajapaksa. Both, Namal Rajapaksa and Sudarsha Ganewatta are currently in remand custody over allegations of money laundering in the HelloCorp case.
Last year, the JC Weliamuna led Board of Inquiry in a report on corruption at SriLankan Airlines revealed that Samaranayake had been released from her work at the airline at the request of the then Secretary to the President Lalith Weeratunga. Samaranayake was released to carry out Namal Rajapaksa’s political work, and she was paid approximately Rs. 158,000 a month by both the airline and the Presidential Secretariat.
During the inquiry by Weliamuna and the team, Samaranayake had said that there was no special project to which she was attached to whilst she was working for Rajapaksa. She had also said that she couldn’t describe an exact location where she was working for Namal Rajapaksa, the eldest son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The report also highlighted that she had been overpaid more than Rs. 4.2 million although there was no proper explanation as to what sort of services she provided. The Weliamuna report recommended that Sri Lankan airlines take action to recover the overpaid money from Samaranayake.
In an interview with Hiru TV’s Salakuna programme in May 2016, Namal Rajapaksa claimed that no special treatment was meted out to Samaranayake. “I have seen her around, I have spoken to her at the Presidential Secretariat, but there was nothing beyond that. No special remuneration was given to her as far as I know,” he told the television channel. He added that he never had even an office at the Presidential Secretariat, and Samaranayake was employed by the Presidential Secretariat directly and he had nothing to do with her.

Then he leaves home with an eternal smile on his face for the rest of the day.The smile lights up the life of the folk who meet him.

Hey guys, Namal answers the questions – as if a deaf person does the job.
Koheda yanne malle pol… not specifically focusing on the quesitons, but journos allow him to do so… It is just beasue THE SENDER is called HIRU…. you may know how they reacted in the days of Meeharaka GOVERANNCE.
Starting that all the R and Developments projects are stopped, but continuing that they have been continuing instead of 6 tracks but 4 tracks. …
As pravaricating master responds, son like father, keeps doing the job calling there was a big development in the days of his father…. no money grabs or wastages were the focus.. as if everything ended up all good…

Asked the both offsprings would have been behaving the same way – if their father would have been won in the last election ?
There the abusive son says, yes Sudewa we had been behaving the same manner even prior to 8th Jan 2015 ————
WE PERFECTLY KNOW THAT RAJAKASHE OFFPSRINGS AND SIBLINGS IN GENERAL BEHAVED AS NO DIFFERENT TO THE SON OF NORTH KOREAN LEADER OR GADAFI S FAMILY MEN…… if this is a lie, – then all should have been reborn.
This reminded me who is lasantha.. hihi .. huh huh the way their uncle went mad and attacked BBC s hard talk master to that time… remember ?

I challenge Namal Baby to come and give a talk to a Panel which is not preset for their adavantage but all means unbiased… – the kind of dialogue or a discussion round can definitely help in clearing all the misunderstandings. The public owe them to clear it TODAY than later.
But those who would raise the questions regarding any allegations levelled at them should go extra mile not behaving this HIRU MEN….
The kind of discussion round will surely be the need of the hour.
Then the journalist world will have done their due in terms of lanken crises.
Media men you are the third force in this country, Nagitiyawa.. God bless

Now, we know that ransom money collected from innocent businessmen through white van/kidnapping/murder during MaRa’s regime by Namal is being white washed in to Hello Corp by him as a descent shareholder. This 125M rupees should be returned to the innocent victims and their families. No bail for Namal this time because money laundering is non- bailable offence in Sri Lanka. Ironically this act was brought by MaRa’s regime against LTTE’s money laundering activities.

Father or son? Location maybe 69 at bunker? Tragedy here is how a top civil servant lacked dignity and a backbone and behaving like a pimp. These political cads are legendary. Lokka’s appetite was legendary. He let his brother in law the Chairman play pandu to keep Madam happy. So with happy madam, he gets to sate his appetite by visiting Kandy palace often. These are normal hypocritical sinhala Buddhists. What is sad is how LW became a pimp. Big big money makes one forget one’s role and obligations to say no and to object to unethical activities.

How many of the kind of women may have been abused by Meeharaka Offsprings over the years ?
These women are all no innocient, they should be made responsible for their naivity and being caught by the kind of men….
They the offsprings thought, that their reign will never collapse to the level as occured on the 8th Jan 2015.
When looking at the manner all the documents and reports gone missing when questioned, the manner they had been doing the job was holding it as their own assets.
Who are the real owners of CSN ? IF NOT Rajakashes ?

The adage that “what goes around comes around” does hold true. She looks like pretty dumb and her only trade secrets are her face, etc. True, she was just hanging around – that is obvious – what else can she do?
There was a time when Churchill forewarned the world of communism rearing its ugly head during the Berlin crisis but it was simply ignored. Likewise, this chap Namal will certainly overtake his father as a deceitful crook. Lock him up and throw the key into the deep blue ocean. He is bad omen for Sri Lanka.

Why no one is talking of that scumbag Lalith Weeratunga? Since prince Namal has passed the buck to Lalith, shouldn’t the Board of Inquiry questioned him what this lass was doing in his den? Surely it cannot be for spawning, or is it? Going by Namal’s account, she was just “hanging around”.
It would have been nice if CT team could provide English sub-titles to the video content.

I miss the comment of our MR Launderer K.A. Sumane. Where are you my dear? I know he would better start with Mahendran RW connection, Foreign Minister Galleon connection and Sira Telecom deal…. so he has a lot to probe at yahapalanaya and dont come that far to Namal. This bugger wanted to get this girl into his bed offered the election campaign job, lateron realized that she is good in her job and wanted to keep her for life time services and mde her the director of his companies. The companies were however not the results of hard work but fformed with stohlen money.
Why cant some journalist ask the income tax office or chamber of commerce who are the owners of these companies and how does that big money was collected? in any other country this should be possible but not it seems not in Sri Lanka.
Sumane please help us to find the secrts behind the scenes.

By the way,wasnt there another bride sent to Australia to work in the countrys diplomatic mission and her family members were rewarded with diplomatic passports? What are these MR sons for boys, they buy the brides with gifts, which however was stohlen. These fellows are not capable to convince a person to be their partner for life or for a time being as long as it gets good. They better buy sex with the stohlen money and power whenever they need it. It seems to be true atleast in Sri Lanka that the best way to succesful carrier goes over the famous beds!
What is the stauts of this country and how low is the moral of the people?
It shows that Srilankans behave like any proud citizens of any proud nation but they act only emotionally and not intelligent. The civil society, the politicians and the intellegentia all behave like kindergarden kids; you have taken me away this so I take that away fron you or I tell my father to beat your father etc. What does it actually mean that the high alphabatic level of the citizen? only reading and writing? not being able to differntiate between right and wrong or what is morally correct and what not. I see this mentality in every walk of life only in this country and it is being abused by the politics. What a pathetic status? are we really civilized?

It appears Nithya Senanaya Samaranayaka was just a pawn amongst the Rajapakse high rollers. If she hadn’t participated she may have lost her job, such was the influence of the horrid Rajapakses. Also worthy of note, SriLankan airlines all set to reclaim their overpayment to Ms.Samaranayaka but not so keen to claim their unpaid bills from Mahinda Rajapakse that has run into Rs.millions.

Non of these charges will hold in a court of law. It is clear the provisions used to arrest Namal are legal technicalities to prevent bail rather than put forward a solid case. Two years after milling around the bush the Maradana Choppe’s guys don’t have anything solid to go by. Same is with CSN but this is high drama for the Nandikadal Fan Club.

From Namal’s says he is is an innocent bloke all allegations are either political or out of jealousy, he hasn’t done any wrongdoings and his father is very considerate person. This means during MRs regime there was yahapalanaya to the fullest extent.
How could these people tell in public a load of rubbish, so many investigations against them in progress and still has the guts to deny the allegations.
The funniest thing was how they select people for jobs, giving jobs to party supporters.

There are too many idiots, Modayas and Mootals, when the National average IQ is 79, and Pakayas, who talk through their ass or arse hole, have ample support.
National IQ Scores – Country Rankings
The intelligence scores came from work carried out earlier this decade by Richard Lynn, a British psychologist, and Tatu Vanhanen, a Finnish political scientist, who analysed IQ studies from 113 countries, and from subsequent work by Jelte Wicherts, a Dutch psychologist.
Countries are ranked highest to lowest national IQ score.

We are all born with sisters and to give the devil its due ,CT should invite her to share her side of the story. Who knows, She would have been a victim of circumstances where she would have been defenceless
as she may be a girl from the rural area and nobody to complain. It
would have been an ant and the goliath story. The father of Namal, former President, should not have allowed such a transfer from Sri Lankan airlines and should have called for applicants and a suitable person selected if his son wanted a personal assistant, instead he looked the other side, not concerned about the well being of his off
springs. She may have signed on dotted lines but who was behind it,
is the question.
People soon forgot the incident, happened not long time ago, a girl from the Colombo elite threw her Bra. on the stage and kissed the artist, a foreign singer, on the stage. This event was organized by world renowned cricketers Sangha & Mahela. This story was hushed because she came from the elite class. Why was she not arrested for insulting Buddhism and Buddhist culture and where was BBS at that
time and why Samaranayake girl is harassed.?
