Wimal & Nimal appointed to head Rupavahini
- Friday, 17 January 2014
The Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation has two former career administrative officers, at its helm, with Wimal Rubasinghe appointed chairman and lawyer Nimal Bopage as working director.
Mr. Rubasinghe is a former chairman of the Central Environment Authority and secretary to the ministry of cultural affairs. The SLRC chairman’s position fell vacant following the resignation of Mohan Samaranayake. He was to be succeeded by former DIG Prathapasinghe, but that had to be changed due to the strong opposition by the subject minister, reports say.
Lawyer Bopage is the former chairman of the Sri Lanka National Council for Human Resources Development, and his F3 project for GCE A/L dropouts and W9 project for GCE O/L dropouts have been widely talked about in society.
He is also playing a leading role since 2008 in the UPFA’s campaigning at elections.
The two are without any black mark in their characters so far. It is up to both to prove that their’s are not just two more political appointments.

‘Fortune’ for wife of Mangala’s ‘boy’!

The wife of Weeraperumal Shivan Priyankara, who has ‘volunteered’ to file a sworn affidavit at the Panadura magistrate’s court to claim her husband has had a sexual relationship with MP Mangala Samaraweera, after he was arrested on a charge of robbing the parliamentarian’s home, is in for a ‘fortune,’ according to reports.
She has come to claim this ‘fortune’ at the office of MP, businessman Tiran Alles, who owns ‘Mawbima’ newspaper. A few days ago, the MP summoned the woman to his office, gave her Rs. 200,000 and said, “I was told to give this by the owner of Sirasa TV. Keep this for expenses. Later, we will help more. Do as we say. When the child grows up, bring him. I will give him free education at Gateway.”
In addition, engineering minister Wimal Weerawansa has promised her a free house from a state project. In return for all these, she is due to give more sworn affidavits and television and newspaper interviews.
In a mark of gratitude for vilifying MP Samaraweera at Panadura magistrate court by appearing for suspect Priyankara, president’s counsel Hemantha Warnakulasuriya is to be posted to Singapore as the Sri Lankan high commissioner there. For that, incumbent Fariel Ashroff is to be recalled, and a situation is being created to do so, with state and pro-government private media now on a mudslinging campaign against her. In the end, everyone will be happy and contented at the cost of Mangala’s private life.
