Less disability allowance recipients in Penninsula. Officials not concern, is the reason.

The practice of granting the three thousand rupees allowance as monthly wages to the disabilities by the Social Service Ministry, and the applicants applying from the Jaffna district is much less, and concerning this the connected officials had not taken any concern was said.

Social Service Ministry circles have affirmed that fewer applications are received from the Northern Province including Jaffna district to the Social Service Ministry.

A monthly allowance of three thousand rupees is being granted to the disabled persons selected from each divisional secretariat located in Sri Lanka by the Social Service Ministry.

So far 34 persons from each divisional secretariat divisions are granted a monthly allowance and currently this facility is increased to 50 persons to acquire this facility.

Accordingly in granting the above allowance to the disabled persons, activities are processed.

Relevant applications from the Jaffna district has not reached the Ministry substantially, and even though there is a large amount of eligible disabled persons in the Jaffna district, the state officials did not make efforts to provide this allowance hence by comparing with other districts lesser applications are received from the Jaffna district was said.

Hence disabled persons should be identified and state officials in the proper manner should guide them to apply, and should forward to Social Service Ministry for which action should be processed was stated.

Asitha Perera bribes auditor not to submit audit report

Friday, 01 March 2013

According to media reports, an audit team from Colombo has landed in Rome to audit Sri Lanka Embassy. The reports also say that Ambassador Asitha Perera is cooperating with the team.

However, there was another audit team that audited the Embassy in 2012 but that team is yet to submit its report to the Foreign Minister G. L. Peiris. According to our Foreign Ministry and Italian sources this team was headed by the most corrupt official in the Foreign Ministry, R. M. A. Ratnayake (R M Abeyratne), Additional Secretary. When he and the team arrived in Rome for the audit Asitha Perera provided the team leader with extensive city tours to visit ancient sites in Rome. So the team leader was not conducting the audit but touring Rome and also wining and dining with Asitha Perera. By bribing Ratnayake, Asitha Perera was able to get Ratnayake not to submit the audit report to the Minister Peiris. This report is now under the carpet.

Foreign Ministry sources say that the officials do not understand why Prof. Peiris is keeping Ratnayake still in the Ministry. The entire Public Service knows that Ratnayake is corrupt and also protecting corrupt officials in the Ministry by not conducting investigations. He was infamously dumped by Mahinda Rajapaksha when he was the Prime Minister.However, a little bird whispers that Ratnayake became corrupt when he was serving at MR's office!
