(Lanka-e-News- 25.July.2015, 2.40 PM) Rs. 230 million of government funds was spent to construct a fish tank at the official residence of ex defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse to breed killer sharks, minister of finance Ravi Karunanayake of the government of good governance made this shocking revelation when addressing a media briefing yesterday.(24)
In addition , during the same Rajapakse regime , three Lamborghini motor cars were imported evading payment of due governmnet taxes . After the new government came into power , attempts were made to export them on the sly, but after the cat was out of the bag , the government was able to collect Rs.278 million from the funds of their bank accounts that were held as security .
Ravi Karunanayake went on to say , though Shiranthee Rajapakse (wife of ex president) denies her involvement in frauds via her bank account, he has in his possession letters sent by Shiranthee unconscionably requesting not to give Rs. 150 million towards cancer patient machines , and to credit to Siriliya account. Karunanayake showed those letters to the media.
Already there is an on going special investigation into the Sirilya fund at the Financial special crime division.
Ravi Karunanayake therefore appealed to the people to vote and elect a government which would have a majority so that these munumental corruption , fraudulent and criminal activities can be duly investigated without obstruction ,and all the culprits irrespective of their status and ranks can be brought to book , and the colossal amounts of public monies ruthlessly swindled can be recovered on behalf of the people.
