-Maithri says, on the contrary he wastes not a cent on the bill !!
(Lanka-e-News -14.Sep.2016, 11.30PM) Corrupt, brutal, Machiavellian Mahinda Rajapakse the ex president of Sri Lanka who drove the country into an unprecedented economic abyss and was a burden on the people while he was in power and was thrown out lock stock and barrel by the people , is still a pain in the neck because of the perennial economic wasteful projects of his. Owing to one such stupid project just to suit his whimsical super luxury lifestyle he lived and his obscene ostentation , even today , a sum of Rs. 2 million has to be wasted monthly on an electricity bill in respect of an underground palace he constructed for him and his family’s luxurious pleasure and leisure. This was revealed by no less a person than the incumbent president Maithripala Sirisena.
The president during a most cordial discussion with the leaders of civil organizations on the 13 th night at the Presidential palace , Fort , said , even though in his election announcements he did not give certain undertakings, he is always having the country at heart , and engages in good actions only. Citing an example , he said , even though in his presidential promises he did not say he will not reside in the palace where the present function is being held , yet he is not coming to reside in the presidential palace because the light bill (water bill apart) alone per month is between Rs. 7.5 to 8 million ! Currently even without his staying there , the bill is in the region of Rs. 2.5 million per month. The cost of the light bill of the deep underground bunker alone built by the ex president Mahinda Rajapakse is about Rs. 2 million out of that total bill of Rs. 2.5 million , the president bemoaned. Though it is termed an underground bunker , it is not a bunker but a super luxury mansion . Such a staggering light bill has to be paid because of the air conditioning comfort provided within it. Because the engineers have warned , if the air condition is not kept on , the walls can crumble , and the entire mansion would collapse one day , the air condition equipment has to be kept on throughout , the president regretted.
This is the type of obnoxious legacies the corrupt, crooked profligate Rajapakses left for the already acutely suffering poor masses .
On the other hand for his residence at Paget Road, not a single cent is being spent on the electricity bill , and he is using a solar powered system instead. This electricity saving is being transferred to the National electricity system . Therefore he is the only president who is saving and transferring power to even the national electricity system , president Maithripala Siriisena pinpointed.
