Mobitel distribution a venture under Rajapaksa
When searching the companies owned by
the Rajapaksa following his defeat it has come to light that the
Rajapaksa dynasty has shown special interest in telecommunication
projects. When investigating further it has being disclosed that the
companies owned by the Rajapaksa’s have taken special interest in
distributing telecommunication equipments and service to the North and
East of Sri Lanka.
When we revealed the companies of the
Rajapaksa in an earlier letter we disclosed that Chesmi Consolidated
(Pvt) limited has introduced two accounts to the dialog sales agents in
the North and East to debit money. A commercial Bank account was owned
by the above company but the account which was in the People’s Bank at
Pagoda Road (17420048000 2015) is not an account owned by the same
company.
The above account is owned by Chelsey Solution (Pvt) Ltd
which has a registered address of &, N.V.J Cooray Mawatha,
Rajagiriya but later the address of Chelsey Solutions (Pvt) ltd address
was changed to 227A/5, Stanly Thilakarathna Mawatha, Nugegoda and the
company website too refer to this address.
The specialty of the
company is that one of the directors found to be one Himal Lalindra
Hettiarachchi whom we referred in our earlier letters is the nephew of
Mahinda Rajapaksa and the son of Jayanthi Rajapaksa who is the sister of
the former president Mahinda Rajapaksa. The address 175/2 Old Kottawa
Road, Mirihana is given to the company which is the house of the former
president Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The other director of the company is one
Mangalanath Wicramanayake Karunarathna bearing identity number
742560163V. His address refers to 49/4, Arawwala Road, Pannipitiya. At
the beginning from the 10,000 shares 6,600 shares were owned by Himal
Lalindra Hettiarachchi and the balance 3400 shares were owned by
Mangalanath Wicramanayake Karunanayake.
Similar to the other Rajapaksa companies
R & J Corporate Secretary Colombo 4 is the company secretaries and
H.D. Jayathilake and company are the auditors.
The company which obtains the
registration from the preliminary information in May 2007 appoints one
Prasanna Manjula Wijerathna as the director on behalf of Himal Lalindra
Hettiarachchi in 2011 October. The latter who bears the identity
743143701V is from 168/10 Vidyala Mawatha, Kahawattha. Again in March
2008 Prasanna Manjula Wijeratha was removed from the director post and
Himal Lalindra Hettiarachchi is appointed again. In April 2009 Himal
Lalindra Hettiarachchi was removed and one Pushpa Janaka Chandana
Samarasinghe Dissanayake was appointed as the director. Bearing the
identity number 651190142V his address is “Diyagiri” Medamulana. In May
2009 this Pushpa Chandana Samarasinghe Dissanayake’s address was changed
to 11/4C, Sumanasara Mawatha, Welgoda, Matara.
In August 2009 Mangalanath Wicramanayake
Karunarathna was removed from the director and one Eshana Ranasinghe
Ranawaka bearing identity number 872490370V from 26A, Pangiriwatta
Mawatha, Mirihana Nugegoda was appointed.
There is no doubt that the director
Pushpa Chandana Samarasinghe Dissanayaka is the mothers side relative of
the former president Mahinda Rajapaksa’s (Mother Dhandina Samarasinghe
Disanayaka). Samarasinghe Dissanayake’s are quite famous in politics and
held high positions in the previous regime. The latter withdrew a
bribery case complained to the Bribery and Corruption Commission against
an officer in the Inland Revenue named Yasalal Samarasinghe Dissanayake
who is a Rajapaksa relative.
The other director is one Eshana Janith
Ranasinghe Ranawaka, son of Gandini Rajapaksa who is the sister of
Mahinda Rajapaksa living in Deniyaya whose husband is Thusitha Ranawaka.
The shares of this company were again
distributed in October 2009 to Pushpa Janaka Chandana Samarasinghe
owning 6,600 shares and Eshana Janith Ranasinghe owning 3,400 shares.
In May 2012 one Lakwijaya Harindra
Wanshanath bearing identity 750410928V from 10, Sarasavi Gardens, Nawala
Nugegoda became a director.
In February 2014 again one Sunil Niranja
Ranasinghe was replaced as the director for Pushpa Janaka Chandana
Dissanayake who was a director at the Chesmi Consolidated which we wrote
earlier.
Finally in February 2014 125,000 worth
10 rupee shares were issued from which 10,100 shares were owned by
Eshana Janith Ranasinghe Ranawaka, 150 shares to Pushpa Janka Chandana
Dissanayake and 114,750 shares were given to Himal Lalindra
Hettiarachchi.
However the final share holders of this
company would be the mother’s side relative of elder and the younger
sister’s three sons of the former president Mahinda Rajapaksa.
As we stated in the beginning the
specialty if Chelsey Solutions is that apart distributing
telecommunication equipments and services they were providing internet
solutions, external advertising and project management to government and
state organizations.
With that specialty during the Rajapaksa
era Chelsey Solutions were continuously engaged in distributing pre
paid and mobile Simm cards in the North East. We cannot consider that
Chelsey Solutions got the distributorship due to the performance in
their distributorship but due to the nepotism and influence of the
former president Mahinda Rajapaksa. Mahinda Rajapaksa who was serving as
the head of state twice is attempting to come to power once for a lower
position is only due to the profits he and his family made in mega
business deals.
The above account is owned by Chelsey Solution (Pvt) Ltd which has a registered address of &, N.V.J Cooray Mawatha, Rajagiriya but later the address of Chelsey Solutions (Pvt) ltd address was changed to 227A/5, Stanly Thilakarathna Mawatha, Nugegoda and the company website too refer to this address.
