Harendra who leaked information to Bandula transferred
- Monday, 23 June 2014
Harendra Liyanage, the person who had leaked confidential information of the sports division of Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation to Bandula Saman Wathuregama and other outsiders has been transferred to the cassette division.
Employees of the Corporation commend this transfer, effected by the chairman, who has come to understand the real face of Harendra Liyanage at least belatedly.
There had been allegations that Harendra Liyanage had given tender and other confidential information of the sports division to outsiders.
The director general of SLBC, who had trusted him until recently, is dejected by his conduct now.
Meanwhile, Bandula Saman Wathuregama is worried that he cannot obtain the SLBC’s plans to secure broadcasting rights of the two cricket tours starting next month.
The SLBC is presently at talks with Sri Lanka Cricket to secure the rights for these tours.
