Rs. 47 billion Tsunami funds robbed: Brothers Company’s latest robbery
Erstwhile Tsunami rogue now turned King
(Lanka-e-News, Dec.30, 2009, 8.30PM) Addressing a media briefing at the UNP media unit today (30), UNP M.P. Lakshman Kiriella said, the Govt. is unable to explain where a colossal sum of Rs. 47 billion funds for Tsunami relief received from foreign countries went, or into whose pocket it crept in. No wonder, the Govt. has been unable to provide relief to the Tsunami victims even after nearly five years have elapsed.

In the latest report of the Tsunami International Agency this stark discovery has been pinpointed. Since 2005, the Auditor General had not done an audit on the Tsunami fund management. The Govt. too had not answered the queries raised by the UNP in and out of Parliament on the Tsunami fraud since 2005 despite the fact that the President and the Govt. are responsible to the Parliament in regard to all official financial dealings. The President and his company of cronies must hold themselves responsible for this misappropriation, for it is they who were controlling the funds received with President as the Finance Minister and the cronies as his financial controllers of national funds.
Because of this misappropriation, it was only the poor Tsunami victims who suffered. The foreign aiding countries stopped sending further aid amounting to Rs. 210, 000 million promised earlier, after they discovered that the Tsunami funds had been abused, and not been properly deployed for honest Tsunami relief work.

When the media questioned as to whether a new UNP Govt. will hold an inquiry into this and take action against the culprits, Mr. Kiriella said, the UNP will definitely do that. It has been no use complaining to the President because it is like asking him to apprehend his own culprits whom he is seeking hard to protect, he added.

Is this also like your Appolo Hospital story? I found 54.61 per cent of its shares held by Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation, 28.59 per cent with Distilleries Company of Sri Lanka and 9.53 per cent is owned by Public Listed Companies and Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has no stake in the Hospital. This appeared allegation in your MR curuption list. Now prove what is the share held by Rajapakse! If you can not thenstop mud slinging!! Hope you will dare to post this.

Is there no way to institute legal action against the brotherhood, for these blatent robberies, and other misuse of power. I saw the "Sirasa" programme "78 Rata Karavana liyawilla" where none other than the former Chief justice informed the public blatent misuse of public property for the presidential campaign. Legal action should be initiated against MR at the earliest possible moment to bring him to pay for his sins - Sumanadasa

No wonder MR is yet to submit his asset details. But, let's vote for MR, and put him in par with Iranian Shah and Philipines' Marcos. Then, there are a number of African leaders as well.
