Boniface who takes chairmen for rides now in hot water!

Friday, 29 August 2014 

Boniface Silva, deputy general manager of the People’s Bank which knows the woes of the public, is endangering his job due to his machinations that victimize all chairmen appointed to the bank, says trade unions of the bank. He is in charge of the operational aspects of the bank that has more than 700 branches. Due to his machinations, DGM – operations is known among trade unionists as DGM – surgery. His operations are intended to safeguard his position, not for the betterment of the bank.

He has been able to have all chairmen, from the late W. Karunajeewa to the incumbent Gamini Senarath, under his spell, by claiming that he has the ability to dictate terms to the trade unions. He is having incumbent general manager Piyadasa Kudabalage dictated similarly with a promise that he would be made chairman after Gamini Senarath.

Recently at Kollupitiya Cricket Club Boniface has had several rounds of drinks with his friends, and told them, “Without me, the People’s Bank will collapse within 24 hours.” It is this Boniface Silva who carries tales to the chairman and board of directors of the bank against the marketing chief Deepal Abeysekara about his swindling. It is him who prints and distributes 700 branches island-wide the articles posted in websites against Deepal.

Getting to know the person, incumbent chief Gamini Senarath is making plans to centralize the responsilbilities of the operational responsibilities of Boniface, say TU sources. Accordingly, the operational post is to be divided into several segments. Under that, the chairman is making plans to form a separate position for IT. Deepal is ecstatic that Boniface is in hot water. He is working tirelessly in this project these days, say TUs. Anyhow, both Boniface and Deepal are of the same ilk, say the sources further.
