I refused a bribe of Rs. 300 m – Rajitha,Complain to BC: Avant Garde Chief tells Rajitha
Posted on May 15th, 2015
Health Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratne alleged yesterday that a respondent involved in the controversial Avant – Garde case had offered him a bribe of Rs. 40 million to remain silent on the issue for just two weeks and that another person had offered him a bribe of Rs. 300 million.
Speaking at the weekly Cabinet media briefing at the Information Department, Dr. Senaratne said bribe was offered by a venture that earned Rs. 450 million a month.
This is the type of inducement offered to us by various unscrupulous elements to catch us. But we have never succumbed to them. Several of my friends told me I was the only person who did not fall for these carrots. If I had accepted, I could have lived in super luxury in the rest of my life. But I value my self respect and dignity more than these inducements,” he said. – See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/72513/a-bribe-of-rs-300-m#sthash.y7q7fI8z.dpuf
Meanwhile Avant Garde Chairman Nissanka Senadhipathi said today Minister Rajitha Senaratne should complain to the Bribery Commission according to the proper procedure without making allegations to the media. He denied having offered any bribes to the minister and said if it was so the minister would not have hesitated to complain to the appropriate authorities. Dr. Senaratne is a public servant and a cabinet minister but he is lying without any shame. I am asking him to go to the Bribery Commission without making baseless allegations against me in public. Otherwise I will send him a letter of demand. Isn’t there a law in this country? I will meet him at the Bribery Commission if he goes there,” Mr. Senadhipathi said. He said the Health Minister had had a record of making erroneous statements to the media in the recent past and this instance was no different. You saw how he got so many things wrong and how much trouble he got into after making false comments about the Nigerian government. This is no different to that,” Mr. Snadhipathi said. He was responding to an allegation made by the minister that a respondent cited in the controversial Avant Garde case had offered him a bribe of Rs.40 million to remain silent on this matter for just two weeks and that another person had offered him a bribe of Rs.300 million. – See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/72651/complain-to-bc-avant-garde-chief-tells-rajitha#sthash.zKglvEYp.dpuf

THIS RAJITHA IS A BLOODY MUT. HE SHOULD HAVE ARRANGE TO ACCEPT THE BRIBE IN US DOLLARS AND HAD THE POLICE POUNCE ON THE PERSON WHO IS OFFERING THE BRIBE, WITH CAMERAS BEAMING FROM ALL OVER.. SO HE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A MUT, BUT WAS TRYING TO TELL THE PEOPLE OF SRI LANKA THAT HE COULD HAVE LIVED IN SUPER LUXURY, BUT REFUSED NOT TO DO SO, BUT LIVE HIS BEGGARLY LIFE AS A MINISTER. DAMNING HYPOCRITE. DAMNING LIAR.
SO HE DID NOT TAKE RS 40million AND RS 300 MILLION, BECAUSE HIS INTEGRITY WAS WORTH MORE THAN THAT. MY FOOT. HE SHOULD TELL THIS TO THE MARINES. LANKAAWE INNE OKKOMA KONDA BANDAPU CHEENNU DA ? DATH UGGULLANA PACHAYA. THAWAMA MR GE EKAMA DATHAKKWATH IGGULLUWE NEHE PORONDU VOO VIDIYATA.

What HOPE SL has?
Very little. Only ONE WAY is there to SAVE SL. But when I suggested it, I was banned from websites. I honestly CANNOT think of any PEACEFUL means to save SL. I challenge ANYONE to come up with a WORKABLE peaceful method to SAVE SL.
Maru Sira has already said no matter who wins, ENDIA and USA had instructed him to make RUN-NIL the PM again.
Do you STILL think there are peaceful means to turn the tide?
113 MPs (majority) petition MARU SIRA to make MR the PM. But he refuses and that is the END OF STORY.
What makes you think even if MR wins the election, MARU SIRA will make him PM? NO WAY!

Maru Sira’s brother was killed because he threatened to reveal LTTE and US connections of his brothers UNLESS he was given free sand mining rights.
Where did the FOREIGN CONSPIRATORS meet to discuss regime change? ARALIYA HOTEL!!
No one cared!

Now his other brother is MONITORING ALL communications from SLT. SL is WORSE than KGB run animal farm.
We all know how it ended. BREAK UP of SU. This is what will happen.
SL MUST be saved by WHATEVER MEANS.

This kidnapper Dentist do not have any shame, he keeps on repeating lies after lies to stay in power. He should not be taken for any Govt.Such people brings shame to the whole Parliament and to the nation. He should be brought to justice at once before any other politician. He should be barred from politics for ever. This Indian sucker is a fraud. People in his electorate should vote him out this time and bring a decent guy to represent them.

I think this moron Rajitha was hoping Avant Garde will offer him a huge bribe. He is jelous he could not make some easy money like the finance minister and the central bank governor. Does any one believe this crook would have said no to Rs 300 million?

One good thing about this jahaplanaya,they can’t even lie properly. From my3 to Amden Ranil, galavamangalaya, jarajitha, galleon ravi all get caught the moment they open their mouths to lie. Now no one will believe them even if they tell a truth
