B report hereunder
(Lanka-e-News -19.July.2016, 11.10PM) Ex minister Basil Rohana Rajapakse ,the notorious younger brother of Machiavellian ex president of Sri Lanka(SL), and Divi Neguma fund Director general Kithsiri Ranawake were again remanded yesterday until the 1 st of August . They were charged with misusing the Divi Neguma funds meant to provide relief to the abysmally poor people of SL .Over Rs. 36,500,000 out of the funds had been misused by Basil to purchase GI pipes to make flags to be used at the last presidential elections for his elder brother Mahinda Rajapakse’s election campaign.
The people must be waiting to see Basil Rajapakse who was to march from Kandy to Colombo in a day or two , will now suddenly fall sick and get himself admitted to hospital after he is remanded.
Lanka e news reported this morning ,Basil who got wind of the fact that he would go behind bars yesterday , would be choosing an auspicious time to leave his home.
It is the consensus of the people who are witnessing the regular prison entry and exit of the corrupt and fraudulent Rajapakse siblings and family members that a special revolving door for them has been installed in the prison lately , for Namal Rajapakse who was in remand prison came out today when Basil went in , as though it is fated that there must be at least one Rajapakse inside the prison to hold aloft its roof from falling .
The FCID via its B report to court stated , out of the gross expenditure account of the department , a sum of Rs. 36,509,127 .78 had been spent wrongly , and in violation of financial regulations, GI pipes have been bought and distributed among 59 local bodies to boost Mahinda Rajapakse’s 2015 presidential election campaign . That is the government funds of the Divi Neguma development department had been abused , and irregularities have been committed. Mind you all these funds would have otherwise been utilized to provide relief to the poor Sri Lankans.
Following the exhaustive and extensive investigation conducted by the FCID it was discovered that a sum of Rs. 36,509,127.78 of government funds have been misused during the period between 2014-09-30 and 2014- 11-17. The GI pipes have been purchased on four occasions and distributed Island wide to the Pradeshiya sabhas.
The most curious and abominable part of this racket is , this distribution had been done when not a single pradeshiya sabha had made such a request . What’s more ? these GI pipes have been distributed to the pradeshiya sabhas without any prior notice via lorries of Lanka pohora Co. All these GI pipes were used for the election campaign of deposed president Mahinda Rajapakse.
Investigations have revealed that Basil who was the minister in charge, and the ex Director General Kithsiri Ranawake of Divi Neguma department were directly involved in this fraud and colossal waste of public funds.
In the B report filed and produced in court on 2016-03-09 , all the records of the investigation , statements and evidence have been incorporated.
All the quotes and records relevant to the FCID investigation were forwarded to the AG under Ref. CR 05/12/ 2016. Based on that , the AG by his letter dated 2016-07-05 had advised the FCID.
1.Basil Rohana Rajapakse and Amitha Kithsiri Ranawake have committed an offence and been linked to it under sections 113 (a) , 102 and 388 of the Penal code read in conjunction with the enactment of 1999 No. 28 amending Public property ACT 1982 No12 . They are therefore liable under section 5 (01) of that ACT.
The suspects involved following the FCID investigations and based on the advice of the AG are :
*Basil Rohana Rajapakse of 114 , Medamulana Walauwe, Weeraketiya
*Amitha Kithsiri Ranawake of 42 A, McKenzie Road , Keppetipola mawatha , Colombo 05.
These individuals upon being informed arrived at the FCID., and after the offences committed were read over to them they were arrested. They were then produced before the honorable court.
Basil Rohana Rajapakse and Amitha Kithsiri Ranawake based on the charges filed against them under sections 113 (a) , 102 and 388 read in conjunction with the enactment of 1999 No. 28 amending Public property ACT 1982 No12 which rendered them liable under section 5 (01) of the ACT, were remanded until the 1 st of August 2016 by the Kaduwela magistrate Dhammika Hemapala who granted the request made by FCID to remand them .
This is the second occasion Basil was remanded. When he was remanded on the earlier occasion a ‘Nandana vindhana’ (melodramatic devil dance recital) was performed on the court premises , but yetsreday when he was remanded , neither Nanda nor Vindha nor Banda nor his Goondas arrived even to see him or perform the devil dance.
Basil who was readying to march from Kandy to Colombo in a day or two , finally marched into the arms of the law..! The people are now watching intently whether Basil who tried to show himself off as a hero but now proved well and truly as a villain of villains will in a day or two admit himself to prison. In which case the people had vowed to teach a lesson of a lifetime to the corrupt prison hospital doctors who submissive to filthy lucre ,and are selling the professional honor and dignity shamelessly and sordidly .
