DG plays casinos with SLBC money

The director general of the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation comes to the institution evey night in an inebriated state and gets hundreds of thousands of rupees of SLBC money from the finance division through one Ekanayake and goes to play casinos, say Corporation employees.

If he wins, the money is returned on the next morning.

But, if he loses, he will take several days to return the money, until such time a certain director of the SLBC covers up the fraud.

Over this, the chairman summoned Ekanayake to the meeting of heads of division, questioned him and severely warned him, but the DG continues to play casinos with SLBC money.

Meanwhile, plans are being made to hand over a SLBC circuit bungalow in Nuwara Eliya, re-acquired through legal action after being leased to a friend of minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage, to a friend of finance division’s Ekanayake.

The plan is to obtain Rs. 1.5 million as the lease money, but only Rs. 900,000 will go to the corporation, while the rest will be shared by the DG, the director, Ekanayake and office bearers of the SLBC’s SLFP union.

Their plan is to be implemented within the next few weeks by misleading the board of directors.

The chairman and the subject minister do not seem to know this abuse of state property, and employees question as to whether not even the president can see
