Sri Lanka: Minister’s cock and bull story

( November 22, 2017, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The
statement made by State Minister of International Trade Sujeewa
Senasinghe in a media briefing convened yesterday (21st) regarding the
62 telephone calls he exchanged with the main accused of the fraud that
had been committed in connection with the issuance of bonds by the
Central Bank on 27th February, 2015 while the investigation by COPE,
chaired by the JVP Parliamentarian Sunil Handunneththi, was taking place
from 06.05.2016 to 28.10.2016, is now being revealed as an
international level slander.
At the media briefing, Mr. Senasinghe said he took telephone calls to
Arjun Aloysius to get information for the booklet “Eththa Neththa’ he
wrote to ascertain there hadn’t been any fraud in the bond issuance and
asked how else he could get information.
State Minister Senasinghe would have written the book on 27th June or
around the time which is a time before the general election was held.
However, the 62 telephone calls exchanged between State Minister
Senasinghe and Arjun Aloysius had taken place while the decisive
investigation by COPE chaired by Parliamentarian Sunil Handunneththi was
being carried out during the period 06.05.2016 to 28.10.2016.
The UNP Parliamentarian Velu Kumar who was a member of COPE resigned
from his membership on 07.07.2016 and State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe
was appointed for the vacancy created on the same day. This was after
one year he published the book.
It is also stated that during the period 04.07.2015 to 03.03.2017 there
had been 227 telephone calls exchanged between State Minister Sujeewa
Senasinghe and Arjun Aloysius.
According to State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe, he has acted to save the
UNP. The party has to be saved only if the leaders and members have
committed errors. UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe too said, after
appearing before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into the Bond
Issuance, that errors had been committed.
In such an environment attempting to save bond fraudsters and the UNP
leaders who were party to such crimes and coming out with slanders after
everything has been revealed would further expose the guilty.
