CB Bond scam and few pertinent queries?
Posted on August 7th, 2017
Sudath Gunasekara 5. 8.2017.
Who brought Arjuna Mahendran, a non- citizen of this country and a citizen of Singapore
Who got him appointed as the Governor of the Central Bank in spite of objections raised by the President with an undertaking that he will take the full responsibility for all actions by Arjuna Mahendran, his buddy?
Why did the President gave in to pressure (may be obviously for the reason that he has got elected as the President, mainly thanks to the UNP votes) knowing that Arjuna had LTTE grape wine with blood connections and he was also not a Sri Lankan citizen and thereby violated his responsibility by the country and its people and has betrayed his responsibility by not properly exercising his statutory powers
Now that it is common sense that the Governor CB has robbed the CB with impunity, has Ranil Wickramasinga taken the responsibility for this mega robbery of the nation’s CB as per undertaking given to the President and resigned
Won’t it would be interesting to find out as to where this robbed money has gone and to whom this robbed money has been siphoned?
With the appalling revelations at the ongoing CB Inquiry why doesn’t the President sack the Finance Minister and the main culprit of this gang robbery of the nation’s premier Bank, Ranil Wickramasingha and take administrative and legal action against the whole gang including Aloysius and those in the Treasury and the CB who are responsible for this and have benefitted from this scam and confiscate all their properties as a warning to lesson to all future politicians Such timely action will at least would partially exonerate him from all sins he has committed to the nation since Nov 2014 and save him from been hung by a future people’s government
In my opinion the whole Government should take the responsibility for this meticulously planned robbery and should resign immediately, including the President for failing in his duty by the country as its Constitutional Head.
The million $ question people of this country are posing is as to what have they done since 8 Jan 2015 other than pushing the country to a hell of unprecedented political, economic and social abyss and uncertainty by violating the constitution and messing up in all spheres of governance in a manner unprecedented ever since Independence, just to please their Indian and Western allies and Tamil Diaspora who have helped them to ousted a people friendly Government?
It is time for all those concerned about the future of this Island nation to rise, against this this Government of rogues and treacherous criminals.

Dear Sugath,
Sadly, the crooks are far more connected across the political divide. They had done their homework before the fraud. Reciprocation seems to be the name of the game. “You save me, I save you” is the mantra. All are aware of Sirisena’s 3 month ultimatum and trying to save each other. If Sirisena fails to nab the corrupt, he is finished. I’m appalled by politicians and their supporters put their personal benefit above national interest. This is why corruption cannot be rooted out. All corrupt politicians have support across the political divide.

Yes, INDEED!
A government with a SHRED of HONOUR would RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!
A President with a SHRED of HONOUR would SACK the Government, SUSPEND Parliament, and CALL FOR IMMEDIATE Presidential and General Elections, and then STEP ASIDE for a new leader.
Absolutely NO GOVERNMENT has been such an ABSOLUTE DISASTER in our history since INDEPENDENCE!
And YES! All PATRIOTIC PEOPLE in the country should RISE UP AS ONE to URGE THE PRESIDENT to so ACT in the BEST INTEREST of our country before it is FURTHER DISMANTLED piece-by-piece by an UTTERLY TREACHEROES KALLIYA of OUTRIGHT CROOKS and PARA-GATHI CON-ARTISTES!

This may also be another pus bombe….with the President appointing another Commission to investigate the Commission. It is possible….because the President too has to answer
(i)why he allowed his Prime Minister appoint as Financ Minister a man who had a case against him in the Tribunal for money laundering,
(ii) why he allowed a man who was not a citizen of Sri Lanka to be appointed as the Governor of the Central Bank,
(iii) why he did not sack the PM when he refused to dissmiss Arjun Mahendran after the Bond Scam and appointed him instead as advisor to the Prime Minister,
(iv) why the President enacted a farce to fool the people about a cabinet reshuffle to merely appoint Ravi K as the Foreign Minister with Lottery Board tagged to his Ministry, and Mangala S as Minister of Finnce with Media tagged to his Ministry, (v) why did the President allow Prime Minister to keep the Central Bank under him instead of it remaining as a part of the Finance Ministry.

On Jan 15, 2015, a plan that had been in the making for a long time was implemented with a cheated election and the election of Maithripala Sirisena as the President. As far as I can see these are the rudiments of the plan which was hatched by think tanks abroad since RW does not have the brains of a louse to govern or plan anything.
1. Former Colonizers wanted to get back their colonies, especially India which was the crown jewel during their heyday.
2. In order to get India, it was necessary to get Sri Lanka first. It had an added merit that we have one of the world’s deepest and best harbors in a strategic location on the shipping lanes from China to the West. Idea was to get Sri Lanka to replace Diego Garcia whose lease was expiring in 2020. Britain does not have a big enough Navy but they could lease it to the USA and get benefits from them.
3.Britain has no resources at all to survive as a nation. The only resource they have is their deep knowledge of their ex-colonies and how to benefit from this knowledge.
4. The plan called for an installation of a puppet government who will hand over the East and the North to the Tamils who have always been cooperative with the former Colonizers. This was achieved in the same manner as the Arab Spring in Tunisia, Libya etc., by use of Social Media to spew out lies about President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his family. Once Sri Lanka is divided then U.K. will establish their links with the Tamils and displace the Sinhalese gradually. The rebellion in India in 1857 was brutally put down by the British and the British crown took over the governing from 1857. Tamils formed part of the British army, which fought against India.
5. India too has played a double game with Sri Lanka. We need to realize that they are our enemy. They have used the untouchables and other low caste people especially the Tamils as a group to infiltrate all the smaller neighbors and then take them over. They have done it in Sikkim and are now trying to do the same in Bhutan, Nepal and now Sri Lanka. The way I see it the Sinhalese have been subjected to genocide for 3000 years by Tamils and it is still going on. The last war was not against the Tamils but the Terrorist group funded and trained by India. These LTTE terrorists wiped out entire Sinhala villages in the East and all the Sinhalese and Muslims in the North were chased out or killed by LTTE. Is it not genocide also by Tamils of the Sinhalese? How about justice for them. There are 77 million Tamil Dalits only 12 miles away across the Palk straits and the Sinhalese are under constant threat from them. The Tamil Nadu politicians are constantly uttering anti-Sinhala rhetoric in India and trying to get India to invade Sri Lanka.
6. In order to install the puppet government, they had to first get rid of the Rajapaksa’s. What better way to do it than through the UNHRC by creating bogus war crimes charges against the Sri Lanka Army which fought so valiantly and with so much discipline. The Tamil diaspora provided the ammunition the West wanted to create war crimes charges with the most absurd numbers of Tamils killed. Even at the recent UNHRC hearing, there were two Tamil NGO’s who tossed out varying numbers with one person actually suggesting that 300,000 Tamils were killed by the Sri Lanka army.
7. Many Sinhalese have asked the TNA and other Tamil representatives to provide the names of those who were killed. No one has given any names at all. The UN, French and UK representatives were present at the final stages of the war and they all knew how the LTTE took 300,000 innocent civilians as a human shield who were rescued by Sri Lanka army personnel at a great cost their own selves. Why are these people so dishonest? The Sri Lanka Government representative Mangala Samaraweera co-sponsored the resolution brought by the USA without any question about the LTTE war crimes or the genocide of the Sinhalese by the Tamils.
8. The spineless puppets we have as a government is only interested in remaining in power with the backing of the West and India. They have no interest in the welfare of the country. They will gladly sell the country if it means that they can stay in power forever. Puppet governments have worked for the West in the past in many countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Argentina, etc. It is sad to see Sri Lanka being slowly destroyed by these parasites. These countries who are so concerned about war crimes in Sri Lanka are guilty of war crimes a thousand fold far worse. Yet no one questions them since the UN is funded by the West.

Ravi Plays Dirty And Claims Aloysius Is Anika’s Ex-Lover
Whilst claiming he was hurt by attempts to assassinate his character, Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Lotteries Ravi Karunanayake himself went on to drag a nonrelated relationship of one of the witnesses, lawyers monitoring the proceedings of the Commission investigating the Bond Scam told Colombo Telegraph.
Day before yesterday when Minister Karunanayake was questioned as to whether he knew that Arjun Aloysius had met his wife Mela and had discussed the leasing agreement of the Penthouse Apartment, instead of giving a clear answer he said, “No, I don’t know about that, but Arjun Aloysius is Anika Wijesuriya’s former lover”.
Subsequently when answering another question, he once again mentioned that Arjun Aloysius was the former lover of Anika Wijesuriya.
Meanwhile speaking to journalists and media immediately after his grilling, Minister Karunanayake went on to say “I can accept the piercing of the enemy’s arrow. But, the pin pricking of friends is much more hurtful”.
“The irony is that he is the one who used the pin to prick his ‘relation’, according to him,” the lawyers who spoke to Colombo Telegraph said.
However earlier when Anika Wijesuriya was giving evidence before the Bond Commission she was asked if she knew Arjun Aloysius. She said she knew him first through her schooling at the Colombo International School and thereafter as a friend of a person she had had a relationship with. At no point did she claim that Arjun Aloysius was her former lover.
Lawyers representing Arjun Aloysius however never suggested or challenged her if she was the ex-lover of Arjun Aloysius during the time of being cross examined when she was giving evidence. Instead they went on to ask her if she knew a person by the name of Jude Shramantha Jayamaha. Even though they never went on to identify who that man is, he is the man currently serving a death sentence for the famous Royal Park Murder. Anika said she knew him, but no further questions were asked regarding that matter.
“What is baffling is that Ravi Karunanayake who cannot/did not/may not remember who paid for the penthouse, remembers that Arjun Aloysius was Anika Wijeysuriya’s lover. This leads us to believe that Ravi Karunanayake would use any path to discredit someone who crosses him.
a) Anika Wijeysuriya leased her house and signed a legal agreement.
b) Anika Wijeysuriya registered the lease agreement.
c) Anika Wijeysuriya responded to summons by the Presidential Commission.
d) Anika Wijeysuriya gave evidence according to what happened truthfully.
So, what earthly reason is there to discredit her character? YOU DECIDE” the lawyer told Colombo Telegraph.
Meanwhile a website which is paid around US$ 3000 per month to carry two advertisements of the National Lotteries Board, which comes under Minister Ravi Karunanayake’s purview, used an ad hoc writer to sling mud at Anika Wijesuriya.
Anika Wijesuriya who used two parts of her full name Muthukudaarachchige Vinodini whilst giving evidence as the former owner of the Monarch Residencies Penthouse, is the daughter of business tycoon Nahil Wijesuriya.
Her full name reads as Muthukuda Wijesuriya Arachchige D.A. Anika Vinodini Jayasuriya. After giving evidence her lawyer requested the Commissioners to give a ruling in order to protect her and her family identities. The Commissioners said that they cannot rule in that favour and denied the lawyer’s request.
She is a Director on the Board of East West Properties PLC, a company which is owned by her father.
However after giving evidence Anika Wijesuriya has deactivated all her social media accounts such as Facebook, LinkedIn etc. (Jacqueline Senanayake)

PM HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING WITH RAVI
Monday, August 7, 2017 – 01:00
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe held a special meeting with Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake, on Saturday evening.
Informed government sources said the Prime Minister would soon have a meeting with President Maithripala Sirisena on Minister Karunanayake’s issue. The Prime Minister met the Foreign Minister in the light of recent developments at the Presidential Commission of Inquiry to investigate into the Treasury Bonds issue.
In a testimony before the Commission, last month, it was revealed that Arjun Aloysius, the former CEO of Perpetual Treasuries had paid a lease amount of close to 8.7 million on behalf of the family of the then finance minister Ravi Karunanayake, for a fifth-floor super luxury condominium apartment at the Monarch residencies.

REMOVE Ravi Karunanayake from ALL ministries and from parliament. IMPOSE CIVIL DISABILITY for 7 years! PUNISH Arjun and Arjuna as well. INVESTIGATE LTTE links.
This is the biggest fraud EVER in SL. IF these FRAUDSTERS get away there is NO HOPE for SL.
