(Lanka-e-News -25.June.2015, 11.30PM) Following the conclusion of the war, apparently the security chiefs of Sri Lanka (SL) are afflicted with a new mania. This mania is providing training in shooting to their wives. In the wake of the recent exposure in this connection of a CID director, today ,Saman Nishantha Dissanayake . a senior assistant secretary in charge of arms of the defense ministry has repeated this wasteful exercise.
In this photographs are Dissanayake with his wife who is undergoing arms training on 20 th June in the VIP range of Katunayake STF firing zone wasting public money.
The photos herein depict how his wife is undergoing training in how to use mini uzi firearm and weapons from 9.00 in the morning under an ASP of the STF assisted by two sergeants .
Nishantha Dissanayake who hails from an ordinary farmer family of Moneragala, during the tenure of office of Gotabaya , joined the defense ministry . Thereafter , in no time most shockingly he became an owner of many acres of paddy lands in Moneragala , and a businessman.
Since the time of Gotabaya he had been a senior assistant secretary in charge of arms and ammunition in the defense ministry having faced no disasters. During this period he amassed a large amount of wealth through illicit commissions collected from the importers of illegal arms, which had enabled him to lead a super luxury life now.
In these circumstances , it is most rudely shocking that even after the advent of the much hyped government of good governance , wrongdoers have found this government too a refuge for culprits who are multiplying, while also wrongdoers in the three forces are being shamelessly and brazenly given promotions . What is most reprehensible and surprising is that all these wrongs and blunders are being committed within the defense ministry directly under president Maithripala , the head of the government of good governance.
Even when all were opposed to it , president Maithripala deemed it right to appoint to the post of Army commander an individual who gave false evidence in the barbarically created military court against General Fonseka ; the ex army commander Daya Ratnayake and ex chief of staff Jagath Jayasuriya who were tainted with corruption and war crime charges too were appointed as foreign envoys after their retirement by president Mathripala ; and even when there were copious , cogent and clear evidence to substantiate the charges of monumental corruption leveled against Gagan Bulathsinghala , the latter was appointed as the air force commander.
It is well to recall Maithripala Sirisena categorically stated after going on pension , he will call it quits and take to ‘viridhu’ (psalms) recitation, and will not contest to be elected as president. Yet it was the people forming the opposition of the country who toiled casting aside the racial differences and party hues , to put him on the pedestal and make him the president ,The people did all this not for nothing- it was to throw out the Rajapakses who by that time made corruption, violence and frauds a way of life , and introduce an absolutely violence free , corruption free and malpractice free society.
Maithripala always said , he is a servant of the public. In that case it his duty to serve the public duly and fulfill the hopes and aspirations of the people who propelled him to power. Hence , the duty of eradicating corruption and malpractices, getting rid of the corrupt officials and investigating the culprits , crooks and the corrupt under his Institutions is his and his alone , and none else’s.
Based on reports reaching Lanka e news, it is a matter for deep regret that at the recent security council meeting , President Maithripala had told the air force commander Gagan Bulathsinghala ,most known for his corrupt activities to probe who gave all the information about Gagan’s rackets and corrupt activities to Lanka e news. Sadly , this is exactly what the Rajapakses too did.
When we were fearlessly and forthrightly exposing the corruption , crimes , and those responsible for them , what the Rajapakses did was, instead of conducting investigations against them, they hounded us out for victimization , and went even as far as to ban us.
Be that as it may, the public are watching most intently , what action the president as the defense minister is going to take against Saman Nishantha Dissanayake about whose unlawful activities we have revealed hereinabove in our today’s columns .
