'Condom theory’ for Duminda & Rayynor!

 Thursday, 30 January 2014 

There are signs that Hiru TV and radio owner Rayynor Silva and his brother, Colombo district MP R. Duminda Silva, are to be eliminated from the Rajapaksa regime, according to internal sources at the media institution.

Recently, Rayynor had been summoned to the Defence Ministry and the defence secretary had reproached him mercilessly without any reason. Even now, Rayynor cannot understand as to why he had been rebuked thus all of a sudden. It was with the defence secretary that the Silva brothers have been having a closer relationship, than with the president. The defence secretary has been backing all their activities. As a result, they have been able to carry out their illegal earning activities without any disruption by the law or the police.

Silva brothers are persons who pay a predetermined part of their income to the Rajapaksas and the various subject ministers. In addition, they have very close dealings with top government officials. For instance, Rayyor well knows what media minister Keheliya Rambukwella wants more than money. Rayynor always takes care to fulfil what the minister wants as soon as he gets a call from him. Due to this relationship, Rayynor has been able to become a powerful figure in the media field.

That power is such that he has the power to ban any website in the country if and when he wants. It is him who is behind the banning of several websites in Sri Lanka. The existence of certain of these websites are not known even to the defence secretary. Rayynor does this through Anusha Pelpita, who maintains that he is unaware about a ban and that he just follows the advice of the Defence Ministry. Rayynor and Pelpitya are very close friends. It is through Rayynor that Pelpita has invested all the black money, mostly at the Colombo share market, he had earned from telecomunciation firms recently. Rayynor also financially supports the construction of a house by Pelpita in Nugegoda.

According to rumours, the sudden enmity between Rayynor and the defence secretary is due to Hiru channel’s news carrying criticisms of the government. However, the real reason is the red alert issued by international anti-narcotic agencies against Sri Lanka. They have warned Sri Lanka would have to suffer serious repercussions if the government does not take action to curb the drug mafia that is centred on the island. They have stressed that these allegations could be more serious than the war crimes charges already faced by the country.

Informed sources say this is the reason for the change of face by the defence secretary. In light of this development, the Rajapaksas have decided to sacrifice the Silva brothers as they are persons who do not hesitate to sacrifice any person for their own existence. Therefore, within the next few weeks, state as well as pro-government media will launch a sudden campaign against the Silva brothers.
