Basil’s stooge does it for himself!

Aug 25, 2016

Architect Muditha Jayakody, who identifies himself as the modern day deshamanya Geoffrey Maning Bawa, has once again betrayed one of his masters, former economic development minister Basil Rajapaksa. He has committed this betrayal  to the FCID and  to the pugoda magistrate ., This  time to the Department of Inland Revenue.

The architect for the Mnasion in the infamous Malwana land ,  five beach Villas Browns Hill  in Matara and the  hi tech gampaha office of Basil's admits in the attached letter personally delivered to IRD accompanied by security provided by the GOSL that he had previously given false information to the Department that he had declared that he derived income from architecture fees he had earned to build the mansion and thereafter paid income tax including a penalty for late declaration on the said income.Astonishingly, he has now  written to the department, requesting that he be refunded the money he had paid as taxes for the income he declared claiming that the funds he declared as income in effect is not his but belong to a third party.

It is hilarious that Jayakody, who boasts himself to be an architect par excellence, does not know that providing false information to the Inland Revenue Department is an offence under the Inland Revenue Act punishable by imprisonment or by fine, or both.

A senior official of the department, who revealed the details to us said, “Muditha himself has fallen to the ditch he had dug for Basil.”

The letter does not mention Basil, but in his lengthy statement to the FCID, he has admitted to be the proxy holder to launder black money belonging to Basil. Also, he has confessed to his wrong committed on behalf of Basil in a confession given to the Pugoda magistrate under clause 127 of the criminal procedure code. Named an accomplice in the FCID case filed against Basil Rohana Rajapaksa, Muditha has now become a witness of the state. Due to be summoned to the Inland Revenue Department soon, he will be told by its officials to reveal the identity of that person.  Muditha ought to be prosecuted for having given false information to the department.                                                                                                  

The attorney general has informed the government that the Malwana land and building of around 16 acres which is in the name of Muditha cannot be taken over as previously claimed . However Muditha has informed that he is  prepared to donate the land to the    Ministry of land  in order to escape his wrong. After the government recieves this benevolent gift from Muditha Jayakody he will be elevated as one of the great philanthropist. A man who seeks to promote the welfare of others by his generous donation of the Malwana land and building for the love of huminity in the sense it will be used as a police training school, like the 101 room Amaragiri Walawwa unawatuna, donated by H W Amarasuriya to Establish Teachers training school.

A statue of his is to be erected for posterity in the Malwana roundabout.He will be joing the roll of honour of Sri Lanka's philanthropists like

Sir John Kotelawala, Henrey De Mel, Sir Cyril De Zoysa, Sir Ernest De Silva, Sir Charles Henrey De Soysa, Jeronis De Soysa,Sir Ponnambalam Ramanthan,Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam, Al Haj Thassim (OBE), H.W Amarasuriya.
