15 million restaurant at floating commercial complex to Anura Senanayake!
- Tuesday, 26 August 2014
SLFP general secretary, health minister Maithripala Sirisena opened the floating commercial complex at Bastian Mawatha in Colombo Pettah at 5.00 pm yesterday, and it was senior DIG of Colombo Anura Senanayake who had bought the restaurant at the complex for Rs. 15 million.
Named Nista Café, he has bought it to the name of one Ranjith. Earlier, Anura Senanayake bought Bake House near Lipton Circus in Colomobo to the name of this same person.
For the opening of the restaurant, an all night Pirith Chanting took place on August 19, followed by an alms giving on the following morning, all of which were organized by the Colombo Fort headquarters inspector. The inspector had also made the invitation to the Buddhist monks for the occasion, and had even collected the meals and other offerings at the expense of Pettah traders. Senior DIG Senanayake and his proxy holder Ranjith attended the Pirith Chanting.
At the Colombo chief magistrate’s court today, the case filed by Bar Association president Upul Jayasuriya over non-provision of police protection for him was taken up. Gunaratne Wanninayake, a lawyer for Mr. Jayasuriya responded in open court to submissions by the senior DIG and said, “This morning, I came to court after drinking a Rs. 25 tea at your Bake House’, which left Anura Senanayake speechless.
Exposing the charater of the senior DIG further, lawyer Wanninayake said it was Anura Senanayake who was providing police protection to the Colombo underworld. For that, he is getting more than Rs. 10 million a month.
