Mathri saluted by the forces for clipping the wings of MR’s security contingent..!

President urged to probe how MR’s security personnel became millionaires

(Lanka-e-News -17.Dec.2015, 3.30PM)  The decision taken by president Maithripala Sirisena to withdraw the 500 army security personnel contingent provided to ex president Mahinda Rajapakse and replace with 130 STF police personnel  , has been warmly welcomed by a majority in the army , based on reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division.

It was the decision of the president as the defense minister  and the government  that the army is there in a country to provide national security and not for individual security of politicians. Hence , no politico shall be provided with army security personnel , and only police security detail shall be given to them ,   it was concluded.  Indeed , in the world it is the police personnel who are specally trained to provide security to VIPs ,and not the members of the forces. 

In addition to the 130 police security personnel , if there is need for more ,  an evaluation  report of the National security council is necessary , the president has decided. 

High rung officers of the forces expressing their  views on this to Lanka e news inside information division said, the low rung officers of the Mahinda Rajapakse security contingent have become informants regarding the ‘Rajapakse evil power’  to the army commander.

The officers who were with Mahinda Rajapakse for nearly nine years , while they were in Rajapakse ‘s  security contingent had amassed wealth and become millionaires through various concessions and benefits exploiting their positions . Some have become owners of tourist hotels , while a great majority are businessmen now. Hence , a request has been made to president Maithripala Sirisena , as the defense minister  to immediately conduct a probe into their assets as they could not have accumulated  this colossal wealth from their salary earnings.

Moreover, the  armed forces that were in the security contnegent of ex president Mahinda Rajapakse using their influence and power had committed various crimes including murders, plunder , robberies , extortions and  rapes with impunity . In the circumstances , the high rung officers who spoke to Lanka e news , had urged the president to launch an investigation into this promptly.
