President intimidated by organized threats of rogues..!

-Instead prove there are fourfold more honest patriots to replace them..!

(Lanka-e-News -26.May.2016, 11.45PM) 139 high ranking officers who held various posts under the Rajapakse administration , and are still in those positions in State Boards and authorities have decided to resign in protest against the on going investigations into the financial frauds , bribery and corruption charges , based on reports. 

This protest was intimated to the president , and the latter before leaving for Japan yesterday had ordered to halt the arrests  that were to be made today (26) . Six individuals including a  former chairman of the Sri Lanka tourism promotion  Authority , Directors of the board and  an additional secretary were to be arrested today on charges of  grave financial frauds .

These officers who were  to be arrested said , they were notified  to report to  the FCID today , however yesterday night , the FCID officers had phoned them and stated  it is not necessary for them to come to the FCID.

Among those to be arrested is  an additional secretary of the Prime Minister’s secretariat , Ms. Hema Dharmawardena.

She  was an ex secretary of the economic development ministry Basil Rajapakse. In addition , Bhashwara Senanka Gunaratne ( he was directly involved in Mahinda Rajapakse’s election campaign  ,and a most corrupt individual about whom Lanka e news has exposed umpteen times) a former chairman of the authority; Director General D.S. Jayaratne , and members of the board , namely , Ranasinghage Semasinghe , Don Chandrasiri  and Amitha Kithsiri Ranawake are among them.

The administrative officers’  association had made an organized effort to obstruct the arrest of these corrupt officers (male and female). A number of officers of this association are linked to various fraudulent  and corrupt activities., and among them a great many are certainly going to be liable because there is cogent and copious evidence to prove their crimes, sources say.

This officers’ mafia that is operated by the joint opposition is constituted of ex president’s  secretariat chief of staff Gamini Senarath, Public service commission secretary Gamini Seneviratne, Government administrative officers association president Ranjith Ariyaratne and ministry of public administration secretary Dadallage. 

Following the investigations based on the statements recorded of the afore -stated  accused , they were charged  under the General growth property Act. The investigations had revealed  they have been directly involved in the frauds , or have connived at them or they have as state officers not taken action to prevent the crimes.

The Attorney General’s department has given instructions to the FCID to take these officers into custody, but because of the president’s orders the police had been intercepted , and no action could be taken by them. 

Political analysts are of the view , because of the intervention of the president , all the investigations into frauds and corruption are being foiled. The allegations leveled  at the police that only those who have been hand picked based on political and other reasons are being arrested , are being borne out by this action of the president , the analysts point out .

The president who solemnly vowed that he would establish good governance and came to power , if he is to make an abject surrender to threats and intimidations posed by crooks  and the corrupt , and takes steps to safeguard them, the officers of the AG’s department and the police officers who undertook these investigations risking their lives are certainly going to be bitterly disappointed and disillusioned. 

That will be a new encouragement and experience to the rogues.. If 139 rogues are to resign from their government posts on behalf of rogues , the best course of action is for the government  to gladly  relieve these crooks of their jobs , while also depriving  them of the pension . 

The president should steadfastly stand by the people for good governance who installed him in power, without betraying the trust they reposed in him . He must replace the crooks with non corrupt patriotic indviduals and prove there are four fold more such individuals who love  the country.

The President should not give in to these crooks at any cost. If he does, it will be an encouragement to the others to commit similar acts without any compunction. Let the crooks resign so that the administration will be cleansed. The country still has honest and capable officers to replace these gangsters. It will be a good riddance if they resign.
