This fraud is currently under investigation by the Special Presidential Commission on Corruption as well as the FCID. Susitha Senaratne was illegally \u2018appointed\u2019 as Director SJGH by Rajitha Senaratne in 2015 and he illegally occupied his quasi position for nearly four years. Following the allegations of massive fraud by Susitha Senaratne, Rajitha Senaratne instructed Secretary Ministry of Health to transfer Susitha Senaratne back to Lady Ridgeway Hospital as a medical officer. Susitha Senaratne has reported to duty, but not reporting to work, it is reliably reported.<\/p>\n<p>A source from Lady Ridgeway Hospital commenting to Colombo Telegraph stated \u201chaving sex with a prostitute is a clear violation of the E Code, and the ethics of our profession. Susitha Senaratne is admitting to this act in no uncertain terms. Ever since his disgraceful dismissal, Susitha Senaratne has been sniffing around the Minister and he Ministry trying to sneak back into the minister\u2019s fold. He is calling up Medical Administrators and Minister\u2019s aids to spy on the whereabouts of the minister to arrange to \u2018bump in&#8217; to the Minister. This is actually a security threat to the Minister and to other officials. He is a security threat and a moral threat to the Ministry\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lady Ridgeway Hospital is a place where children come for treatment accompanied mainly by their mothers. Susitha Senaratne is a medical officer in the Radiology Department where children especially adolescent girls take their clothes off for scans and X Rays. As a doctor he will be touching patients. Female guardians of the children will also have encounters with Susitha Senaratne. Patients who are girls, female guardians of all children are vulnerable to sexual abuse by this doctor who sleeps with a prostitute and boasts about it. He is a threat to patients, mothers and even female workers at the LRH,&#8221; another Doctor who has listened to the recorded conversation told Colombo Telegraph.<\/p>\n<p>Our source further stated, \u201cSusitha Senaratne is running from pillar to post in the Ministry of Sports and other lucrative Ministries and Departments to find another place to loot public money. It is extremely spineless of the administrators of LRH to not report this medical officer\u2019s absence. The minister created this scammer. Therefore the minister should also take action against his violations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A Medical Administrator commenting to Colombo Telegraph on the condition of anonymity for obvious reasons stated \u201dwhat are the lame useless administrators of LRH doing? We are eagerly waiting to see what actions will be taken against this rogue Susitha Senaratne who has violated several E Code regulations, ethics of the medical profession as evident by this leaked conversation. Isn\u2019t it funny that this corrupt, unethical person was Rajitha Senaratne\u2019s appointee to the Sri Lanka Medical Council in 2015?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":194724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-201749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-news","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
