Incompetent, halfwit Wagista expells another intelligence man

Thursday, 02 January 2014 

DIG Chandra Nimal Wagista, aka ‘Wakiya’ and in intelligence parlance ‘Maina’, who does all the dirty work of the Rajapaksa regime and turned the state intelligence service into a halfwit institution while trying to protect his place through fake monks despite observing Sil on Poya Days, has sent his immediate junior SSP Nilantha Jayawardena to Jaffna on a sudden transfer.

SSP Jayawardena, counting nearly 14 years at intelligence work, had been one of the most skilled and striking personnel in state intelligence.

From the day ‘Wakiya’ became SIS director, he had been having a clash of opinion with the SSP. Around three months ago, the IGP was going to appoint SSP Jayawardena as director of the Police Special Bureau, but ‘Wakiya’ disrupted the attempt, well knowing that a person with more experience than him at the helm of the Bureau will mean his nudity will be exposed. He had got military intelligence chief Kapila Hendavitharana, who depends on the SIS to carry out his duties, to influence the defence secretary to halt the promotion of SSP Jayawardena.

In that, ‘Wakiya’ had the support of another incompetent like him, Nalaka Silva, who had ruined the Police Anti Narcotic Bureau and returned to SIS with the intention of sitting at the top seat there. The cold war between Silva and Jayawardena over their seniority had been yet another reason for the transfer of the latter, internal sources say.

By now, the SIS has lost six experienced officers, but no replacements had been made, which has led to the serious degradation of its administrative and analytical divisions. The SIS has now become a haven for incompetents and henchmen of ‘Wakiya.’
