Rajapakses’ ‘interval’ is over ! 5 CSN higher ups including Yoshitha , Nishantha (Arjuna Ranatunge’s brother), Mara’s media spokesman remanded until 11 th Feb.

(Lanka-e-News -30.Jan.2016, 11.45PM) It is the end of the road for the corrupt Rajapakses  who were  plundering and pillaging public wealth and resources of the country for nearly  a decade to most selfishly fatten themselves ! 

When the opposition was saying the present ‘interval’ was being exploited for political advantage , the government was countering by saying, evidence to substantiate these robberies had to be gathered. 

As claimed by the government so it happened today. Rajapakse’s son Naval officer  Yoshitha Rajapakse ; Nishantha Ranatunge (the brother of minister Arjuna Ranatunge) Director CSN ; the present  Kurunegala district M.P. cum  Mahinda Rajapakse’s media spokesman Rohan Welivita ; and Directors of CSN , J.T.S. Fernando and Kavishan Dissanayake were arrested by the FCID and the Navy in connection with frauds at the CSN involving public funds and misappropriation of public assets . They were today produced before the Kaduwela magistrate .

The Navy headquarters summoned Yoshitha Rajapakse this morning to record a statement , and was arrested after his statement was recorded. He was then handed over to the FCID. Meanwhile, Rohan Welivita was arrested at his residence at Narahenpita . The other suspects too were arrested while they were in their homes.

When the suspects were being taken to the courts , Mahinda , Shiranthi , Namal , Basil and  Gotabaya the other  Rajapakse crooks who are going to complete  the ‘interval’ were present on the court premises.

Finally , Yoshitha and his group were ordered by Kaduwela magistrate Dhammika Hemapala to be remanded until the 11 th of February based on a number of charges including misappropriation of public funds.  After coming out from the court premises , Mahinda said , even if his wife , brothers and children are put behind bars , his grit  cannot be tempered. 

It is a pity that corrupt brutal Mahinda cannot still understand that his beloved ones are going to jail because of the crimes committed during his own administration. In other words he had himself paved the way for that , Hence,  his ‘grit and determination’  bombasts now serve no purpose therefore. May we recall media reported earlier on , quoting Shranthi Rajapakse as saying , if Yoshitha is arrested , she would drink poison.  

It is learnt that charges are to be filed against Yoshitha next week in connection with Thajudeen’s murder.
