Mahindananda’s era of mirth and merriment ends; Transport Director of ex President’s secretariat also served with same order

(Lanka-e-News- 27.Jan.2015, 11.45PM) When bribery and corruption charges against former sports minister Mahindananda Aluthgamamage involving a sum of Rs. 14 million rupees that was suppressed hitherto was taken up again by the commission inquiring into bribery and corruption , it was decided by the commission that the passport of ex minister shall be impounded ,in order to temporarily prevent him from fleeing from the country.

It is worthy of note though the JVP filed action against the ex minister long ago, the notorious Rajapakses who are a byword for corruption and monumental frauds suppressed the investigation.

The corrupt regime , in order to get all its foul and filthy work done to the regime’s advantage during the period of the elections appointed a most incompetent Ganesh Dharmawardena as the Director general in place of former Directress general of the commission Ms.Lakshmi Jayawickrema after having her removed earlier on.

Ganesh is an ordinary junior lawyer and has not been associated with the government service . He became notorious when he took under his custody the file of Aluthgamage while there were glaring monumental charges of bribery against Aluthgamage , and suppressed the investigations.

On top of this , when an inland revenue officer who was a relative (brother) of ex President was caught red handed by the officers of the commission while accepting a bribe of Rs. 400,000 .00 in cash , the Chairman and Director general of the commission together suppressed the inquiries. Now , it has become imperative that this file is investigated.

Meanwhile , the Fort magistrate ,Colombo , Thilina Gamage gave an order yesterday (26) to impound the passport of Keerthi Samarasinghe who was the transport Director attached to the Presidential secretariat during the corrupt Rajapakse era, while directing the Immigration and emigration department to bar his foreign travel.

This order was given by court following the CID informing court that the on going investigations will be hampered if Keerthi Samarasinghe leaves the country.
