The Sri Lanka Telecom director board at its meeting yesterday (01) decided to grant a three-fold raise in the salary of their chairman Kumarasiri Liyanage, younger brother of president Maithripala Sirisena, reports say.
Accordingly, the Rs. 950,000 basic salary of the SLT chairman will be increased to Rs. 03 million.
The SLT directors have taken the decision with the knowledge of Mangala Samaraweera, who is the minister in charge of the telecommunication and IT portfolio.
Kumarasiri is also acting chairman of SLT affiliate Mobitel and receives a similar salary separately.
All these are basic salaries, and inclusive of all allowances, he draws a monthly remuneration of nearly 10 m from the two institutions.
However, the SLT directors’ decision has been strongly opposed by shareholder Maxis of Malaysia. The directors have insisted the pay hike should take place. Maxis has then issued a warning against this authoritarian decision and is looking to sell its SLT shares.

If in a few months this Jarapallanaya crooks have done these dirty things like this, Gov of central bank, finance minister’s mega frauds, in a few more months the country will be bankrupt. This is the poofter who brings allegations against MR, but does all the crooked things. Sad our incompetent president and the illegal PM cannot see this.

Is this another conduit ? Is it a ‘fence’ strategy?

Rahul,
Are you an Indian ( at least the name implies) ? We know this news 2 months ago. Previously “defence strategy” now ‘fence’ strategy – either way we Sinhala Buddhist of Sri Lanka suffer.

Bank robbers,Fraudsters,kidnappers,looters,Gays,loosers,traitors,pretenders all in one in this Jarapalanaya. When can we have real peace in this country with brainless,ungrateful people. Our race and religion both are in danger with this Christian Gay Government of Ranil and the clan. Sira is only a stamp just dropped by Americans and the west to fill the vacancy of Presidency. He is a boneless meat for westerners and Indians. Awamangalaya is enjoying his last supper. This Judas will suffer and die like a stray dog for his evil lies for sure. Help me to see that day OH LORD!
