SLBC workers perturbed

 Thursday, 27 June 2013
The country’s pioneer broadcasting service, Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation (SLBC) is heading to a major crisis due to bad administration. It has been brought notice that higher authorities in the entity always safeguarding persons involved in various irregularities and malpractices.

The speculations rife among employees in the SLBC that the higher authorities going to sack workers since the Corporation is facing an acute financial crisis. This has been proved when several buildings in the SLBC premises have been demolished in the recent past to remove workers in an indirect manner.
SLBC Additional Director General who is also a person safeguarding bad characters in the organization is dreaming to be the next SLBC Chairman in five years’ time. Since the administrative authority is corrupt to the core whoever support them will be awarded with promotions and other fringe benefits. The classic example was that one of the officers attached to Administrative Department was transferred to Marketing Department with a promotion. Further Director General who is also one of the persons who support such bad characters in the SLBC.
Therefore, SLBC Chairman who highlight other persons mis-deeds and other irregularities on air, should pay more attention to the coconut raft that is in his  eyes rather than making an attempt to comment on a piece of fiber that is in another person's eyes.

Nephew tries to usurp Thondaman’s powers

Sendil thondamanUva Provincial Council Minister Senthil Thondaman is trying to oust CWC Leader, Minister Arumugam Thondaman in order to take charge of the party, CWC sources said.
Senthil Thondaman is Arumugam Thondaman’s elder sister’s son. Senthil is engaged in the power struggle claiming he too had the right to the party leadership since he too is a descendent of CWC founding leader Saumyamoorthy Thondaman.
Senthil is currently the vice president of the party’s youth wing.
Senthil’s party supporters have commenced a campaign to educate party seniors and members that the CWC is in need of a new leadership since Arumugam Thondaman is most often engaged in overseas tours and the days he is in Sri Lanka are spent in Colombo with his racketeer friends and women. The Deputy Chairman of the Kaldemulla Pradeshiya Sabha, Ashok Kumar plays a key role in this campaign. He is also a well known thug.
Another key figure in Senthil’s campaign is a vice president of the CWC, Jegatheeshwaran. He serves as a Presidential advisor and draws a monthly salary of Rs. 65,000. He has been accused of smuggling people. He had taken his son Murali Jegatheeshwaran to India and left him there after participating in the bi-annual summit organized by the People’s of India organization. Meanwhile, he had applied for a visa for his wife to travel to Australia. However, when the Australian High Commission had called for police reports on him, it has been revealed that he was involved in the attack on MP Digambaram in Punagala.
Senthil Thondaman had also met the Uva Province Chief Minister Shashindra Rajapaksa recently and asked that he be appointed as the acting chief minister when Shashindra travels overseas. Shashindra is to travel to the US.
Shashindra had said the decision to appoint an acting chief minister was up to the President. The Chief Minister had informed the President of this request and the President in turn had informed Arumugam Thondaman about the matter. After listening to the President, Arumugam Thondaman had told the President to ask Senthil to build a toy house for himself and become the chief minister within its confines.
