Dudley accepts what Ranil, Chandrika rejected!

Sep 24, 2015
During the last general election, Access Group chairman Sumal Perera had tried to give Rs. 50 million to Ranil Wickremesinghe to be used for election propaganda work, but knowing his pedigree, the UNP leader had refused to accept the money.

Then, he met Dudley Sirisena, brother of the president, who readily accepted the money.

After becoming president, Maithripala Sirisena has given just one day of the week for his siblings to meet him. Also, he has made the presidential secretariat a no go zone for his siblings and for his own children. After the ‘Yaha Paalana’ government took, over Dudley is saying publicly that “Things were better during Mahinda’s time.”

Who pocketed Rs. 50 m out of Rs. 150 m given by Dhammika? 

Sep 24, 2015

Wealthy businessman Dhammika Perera had attempted to meet UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe to handover Rs. 150 million to be used at the general election, but knowing the man very well, Wickremesinghe had refused pointblank to accept the money.

Failing in both attempts, Dhammika then met a leading figure of the UNP and handed him the Rs. 150 m. Of that money, the UNPer had pocketed Rs. 50 m and handed over only Rs. 100 m to the party fund.

Dhammika is saying these days that he had got the better of Wickremesinghe. Our attempts to reach the leading UNP figure in question for a comment failed.
