Mahinda approved Rs. 2 m for Eva Wanasundara!

 Monday, 18 May 2015

Former president Mahinda Rajapaksa has approved a payment of Rs. 02 million to Supreme Court judge Eva Wanasundara, say sources at the president’s office. The cheque for the money was written and approved by Mahinda, but it could not be sent to her as he had lost presidency.

The money was approved for medical treatment for Wanasundara’s husband.

When Mahinda was at Law College, which he entered not by passing the entrance exam, but thanks to minister Felix Dias Bandaranaike, Eva was in his batch. It was him who had appointed her from the attorney general’s department to the SC. Due to this close connection, Mahinda had ordered the payment be made.

Although she did not get the cheque, Eva showed her gratitude by issuing an order against the arrest of Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, say legal sources.
