Elle Gunawansa Thera receives Rs. 5 m from Port City!
Well-known
Buddhist monk Elle Gunawansa Thera, who does a great deal for the
furtherance of Sinhala Buddhism, has received a Rs. five million payment
from the Colombo Port City project, say Central Bank sources. This
questionable payment came to light during an auditing by the CB’s
internal audit division of the massive amount of money received during
the previous regime for the project.
A
total of nearly one billion rupees had been paid to individuals and
institutions in a questionable manner. The bank’s special investigation
unit has handed over the investigations to the CID, as ministers of the
‘Yahapaalana’ government had interfered with its investigations. We know
the identities of those ministers, but we refrain from revealing them
with the hope that they would not go to interfere with the CID
investigations. The CID is presently obtaining statements from
businessmen who had close links with the previous regime.
10 acres of Port City for Mahinda?
Before these investigations began, Mahinda Rajapaksa has told a businessman friend of his that the Chinese Harbour Engineering Corporation, the main investor in the project, had agreed to grant 10 acres from the Port City to him and his family. The two sides have an agreement for that and it will be made public at the right time, Mahinda has said.

The ultimate beneficiary revealed in information pertaining to the
questionable transactions handed over by the CB for investigation to the
CID are Mahinda and his family.
