(Lanka-e-News -05.July.2016, 7.00PM) Dilan Perera the most notorious corrupt political two legged wolf of the ‘nefarious decade’ has defrauded those employed abroad in a sum of over Rs. 900.000.00 after advancing the defense these monies were used by him for blowing balloons .This fraud has been exposed by no less a person than the Government Auditor General .
In the report Ref. IS/INV/PC/GDE/2015/14 dated 2015-06-16 issued by the Auditor General in relation to the Sri Lanka Bureau of foreign employment (SLBFE) , it is mentioned Dilan Perera under the pretext of organizing a fake walk has fraudulently spent Rs. 90 million to create awareness regarding foreign employment, while also committing a fraud in a sum of Rs. 925,309.00 based on expenditure towards balloons.
Dilan had stated these balloons valuing Rs. 925,309.00 were purchased from ‘Anil Graphic Design’ Kithulhene ,Mattegoda for the awareness program , but inquiries have proved that establishment does not produce balloons.
However this establishment has mentioned this sum of Rs 925,309.00 in their invoice as payment in relation to May day celebration decorations. Hence , though Dilan had said he blew balloons to the value of Rs.925 , 309.00 and sent them up to create awareness regarding foreign employment , instead of inflating balloons and sending them up into the air , he has blown the cash down into his pockets to inflate himself. Balloons, if any were sent up , that was only on the May day.
In Sri Lanka the price of a balloon is Rs. 10.00 , in which case Dilan should have sent up at least 92000 balloons , to create awareness among the public on foreign employment.
It was somewhere in 1976 ordinary Sri Lankans commenced leaving for Middle East for jobs. That means this foreign employment was there for the last over 40 years. In other words , a huge publicity is not needed to create awareness among the public. A cleverly planned publicity method will suffice. Hence , sending balloons up to give publicity is an absolute lie and a subterfuge. This was a methodology invented by the fraudsters to practice deception .
This fraud was well and thoroughly exposed , and the Auditor General had also classified this as grave corruption in his report over a year ago. Besides , this crime was complained to the FCID . Then how come Dilan Perera had not been even interrogated so far ? With whose patronage and protection is fraudster Dilan successfully dodging the laws under the government of good governance?
May we remind lest it is forgotten that Maithripala Sirisena was elected as president of Sri Lanka on 2015-01-08 by the people not for him to protect and rescue the SLFP crooks and criminals. Surely he did not leave the corrupt regime to come out and provide cover and cover ups to his comrade ministers .At least he did not promise so at that time. In law , anybody who provides aid to a criminal is treated as more guilty than the criminal under ‘aiding and abetting.’
Under the circumstances , this crook of a minister who robbed over Rs. 900,000.00 of the abysmally suffering foreign employment Industry and job seekers ,under the guise of blowing balloons cannot be safeguarded by Maithripala even for the sake of his mother , when his Mother Lanka is teetering and tottering because of the economic bungling committed by the very regime he was representing and finally left.
The people are intently watching, whether the chiefs of the FCID who say they are not partial or will not kowtow to pressures ,are going to stay put without investigating the complaints they have received ?

On appointment of Central Bank Governor , President claimed to have said that CB Governor should work straight and fearlessly when carry out duties of the role of Governor. So if this same President practice something completely opposite to what he preaches in public by shielding corrupt ministers close to him and not allowing FCID to carry out their duties , then it is a matter of time that this president too follows his predecessor and getting thrown out from the people power. At least past president (MR) still commands some popularity among masses of these country although he was defeated twice by people but current President if he is too loose power he will not have anyone to share his woes when out of office if he tries to govern the country this pathetic way of safeguarding rouges. . It is not too late for him to act on the principles of true Yahapalana doctrine and book his place in the annuals of history of this country as a ruler who was fearless and fair by people who voted him to power.
