It is significant to note that in the police force in its whole history , so far never have so many ASPs (stooges) been promoted at once. Though the Police department had conducted interviews for these promotions recently, in the list of promotions however , the names in the list sent by Gotabaya outnumbers those selected and passed at the interview.
Among those in this list of 123 stooges , there are many chief inspectors who are facing disciplinary inquiries. Hence this promotion scheme must go into the Guinness book of records for its ignominy.
Just to mention one example : Anurudha Bandara Ratnayake , the chief inspector (CI) of the Avissawella police, the notorious corrupt police officer being promoted as ASP by the Rajapakses.
Even now disciplinary proceedings are on going against this corrupt officer charged on 7 indictments based on a complaint made by the SSP of the division that Ratnayake (CI) committed the heinous crime of making the complainant the accused .
Nowhere in this planet will such a police officer be given a promotion . But under the Rajapakse regime a promotion has been given to this criminal police officer underlining further the lawlessness raging in the country. The careers of 70 police officers in this list of promotions of the mad Medamulana Rajapakses are tainted with such criminal activities . If we are to cite another example , D.P.R.S Pushpakumara IP who is from the village of the Rajapakses and OIC of Tangalle police headquarters is another misfit . He had not received any police school training .
This Rajapakse stooge was taken into the police as a sub inspector , and was a cricket coach for the police. Pushpakumara who befriended Sanath Jayasuriya later stooped to the lowliest level to become a henchman of Namal Rajapakse, and using that (dis)qualification he secured the post of OIC Tangalla. His only occupation was bootlicking Namal and going behind him like a pariah dog that licks in gratitude for the bones thrown towards it. He neglected even his official duties towards the public and wasted all his time on Nil Balakaya work.
It is such a bootlicker and lackey of the Rajapakses who has been included into the list of the 123 ASP promotions taking effect from 1 st January 2014.
The most deplorable and distressing feature of these promotions is , defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse had obtained an evaluation report on these candidates not from the police but from the UPFA political administrators. Their consent had been the key to the 123 promotions. Accordingly , what the Rajapakses are expecting from these promotions is to use these political lackeys to facilitate their corrupt and fraudulent aims and objectives at future elections. This is their calculated plan.
Consequent upon these dastardly political promotions ,many senior police chief inspectors who had served the department for more than 25 years and duly deserving the promotions have been subject to gross injustice. Owing to these manipulations of the Rajapakses with the sole aim of achieving their political agendas , the whole police department is disillusioned and disgruntled. Indeed , at the discussion held recently by the senior government publicized officers this action was condemned .
