President To Save ‘RK’ Amidst JO’s Right Royal Fuck Up
President Maithripala Sirsena has requested for a full transcript of Foreign and ‘Lotteries Board’ Minister Ravi Karunanayake‘s statement and evidence given before the commission to investigate the Bond Scam.
He had told his close confidantes that he cannot come to a judgment
based on what is published in the media Colombo Telegraph reliably
learns.
This
move came after President’s close advisors had pointed out that the
media cannot cover an entire investigation in one published page,
especially after Minister Ravi Karunanayake was grilled for nearly six
hours.
“The media simply publishes only the juicy parts of the story,” President Sirisena was advised.
The sources close to the President’s house refuted the story titled
“President asks Ravi to resign” which was published as the today’s lead
story in the popular Sinhala daily newspaper Lankadeepa.
“Even the President won’t be able to read the entire transcript, I think
he is just trying to buy time, a SLFP minister told Colombo Telegraph.
But the sources close to the President went on to elaborate that whilst
President Sirisena denied ever saying that, all he had said was that he
had requested for the full transcript of the investigation and the
lawyers cross examination of Minister Karunanayake.
Sources close to the Commissioners said that it will take around one
month to compile this information and also if the full transcript is to
be made public it will require the agreement of the lawyers representing
both parties.
Meanwhile a high ranking Minister of the current government accused the
Joint Opposition for continuing to protect Minister Karunanayake.
Speaking to Colombo Telegraph he said “There was a strong possibility
that Minister Karunanayake would have resigned on his own with all this
existing pressure. But the Joint Opposition (JO) Members of Parliament
by filing a ‘No Confidence’ motion, it only now prevents Minister Ravi
Karunanayake from resigning. If and when a vote is to be taken in
parliament the government MP’s won’t raise their hands and vote against
Ravi Karunanayake. Look at the people who signed the petition. 90% of
them are corrupt bastards who are serving bail on corruption charges.
All they are trying to achieve is to cover up their sins through
Minister Karunanayake”.
