Country in peril ! Defense secretary deceives president -Whither SL and national security ?
(Lanka-e-News-
29.July.2016, 11.00PM) The defense secretary Karunasena Hettiarachi
has acted most high handedly overriding the instructions issued by
president Maithripala Sirisena the commander in chief of the forces,
based on reports reaching Lanka e news .
It must be warned such a situation prevailing in the country is
most alarming , and such a deceit being committed is very rare in a
country.
This high handed action of the defense secretary pertains to Commodore
K.C.Welegedera who exposed the corruption and murders committed during
the period of ex Navy Commander Karannagoda which was earlier on
revealed by Lanka e news in its reports. Lanka e news exposed that an
unjustifiable punishment was meted out to Welegedera by the Naval
courts in order to silence him, and that Welegedera made an appeal to
the commander in chief . It was also revealed by us that the appeal
which had to be routed through the defense secretary was not being
forwarded to the president by the former who is hiding it and delaying .
Lanka e news on the 14 th highlighted this delay caused by Siripala
Hettiarachi the additional secretary to president who was holding back
the appeal . It was only after that and a delay of 24 days , the
relevant file was sent to the president .
Subsequently , following a cabinet meeting , the president ordered
Hettiarachi to instruct the Naval Commander to withdraw the punishment
meted out to Welegedera by the Naval court. The ministers who were
present bore testimony that such an order was indeed issued by the
president.
Lo and behold ! this defense secretary who holds a most responsible
position directly under the president had thereafter acted most
irresponsibly . Karunasena Hettiarachi has indulged in a most shocking
and abominable underhand action. He had by letter informed the Naval
Commander and Navy’s legal division that the president has ratified the
punishment meted out by Naval court !
The defense secretary Karunasena Hettiarachi , the additional secretary , Sirpala Hettiarachi and the Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ravi Wijegunaratne are directly involved in this conspiracy of deliberately altering the instructions specifically given by the president , based on reports reaching Lanka e news.
The defense secretary Karunasena Hettiarachi , the additional secretary , Sirpala Hettiarachi and the Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ravi Wijegunaratne are directly involved in this conspiracy of deliberately altering the instructions specifically given by the president , based on reports reaching Lanka e news.
These conspirators are conducting themselves in this crude and criminal
manner solely because they want to save those who were involved in
smuggling of people as refugees via boats to Australia during the
nefarious decade. Welegedera is due to give evidence in the cases under
the investigations conducted by the CID, but the Navy is obstructing
him. This is because the present Navy Commander and his predecessor are
directly involved in the human smuggling that was carried on earlier.
In the circumstances ,both Karunasena Hettiarachi the defense
secretary and additional secretary Siripala Hettiarachi in charge of the
file who went so far as to change the instructions on the sly given by
the president, in order to protect and safeguard the corrupt and the
crooks must be sacked forthwith , for they have totally eroded the
confidence reposed in them by the public .
Mind you this is not only a most high handed action but is also
suggestive of what crooked and crafty conspiracies they could resort to
in the future , not to mention high treason duping the president and
the country . Besides they are not just white collar workers . Not only
the people even the president is trusting them implicitly being the
defense secretary and additional secretary.
If the grave dangers and the portentous trends laden in these actions
of the two secretaries and those contributing to such conspiracies are
not identified with the urgency those merit , doubtless these villains
are going to commit more villainy with greater determination in the
future including slitting the throat of the highest in the hierarchy.
