True story behind Gota’s ‘security conference tour’ of China…. Is this Good governance ?

(Lanka-e-News -06.Oct.2016, 11.00PM) It is an unequivocal fact that lawless Gotabaya Rajapakse was all along  a byword for murder and mayhem during the Rajapakse nefarious decade , while he was  the  defense secretary under the Rajapakse brutal and corrupt regime that was thrown out lock , stock and barrel by the masses on the 8 th of January 2015.  Hence , granting the  request of Gotabaya to attend a  ‘ security conference’ abroad   despite the countless criminal charges that have been mounted against him has incurred the bitter  displeasure and disillusionment of the masses for good governance. 

Following so many complaints received by Lanka e news  from the public in this connection , our inside information division was  impelled  to conduct  a probe into this . We have  discovered that Gotabaya’s so called ‘security conference’ he is seeking to attend is being held in China , and the invitation is from a private weapons trading Co. in that country . That is  ,it has nothing to do with the Sri Lankan government or security divisions.

It is well know fact that Gotabaya the notorious corrupt villain is an accused in a case of causing grave loss to the country, filed by the commission investigating bribery and corruption . One of the  bail conditions on which he was released in that case stipulated that he should hand over his passport to the court.

However on the 3 rd a motion was filed in the Colombo chief magistrate court by Gotabaya’s lawyer Ali Sabry requesting the court to release his passport to attend a ‘security conference’ from 5 th to 30 th October in China. The chief magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya granted this request . Pilapitiya while releasing the passport temporarily, imposed an additional bail condition – to furnish a   personal bail in a sum of Rs. 5 million
.
The lawyer for Gotabaya citing security reasons did not make public the motion that was filed. However , according to reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division , like how the Rajapakses are continuously taking the courts and judges down the garden path , on this occasion too , Gotabaya had fooled the court because there isn’t such a  ‘security conference’ lasting 25 days in China. 

Hence this tour is a ploy that has been adopted by Gotabaya to visit China to collect illicit commissions due to him even currently  based on the agreements he signed with China when he was the defense secretary, as well as to launder his illicit  earnings and ‘black monies’

Brigadier Mahinda Weerasuriya of the Gajaba regiment of the army who is on leave these days is accompanying  Gotabaya on this tour .(Gotabaya’s regiment too was Gajaba) . Weerasuriya was the other army officer who appeared with Major General Sumith Manawadu to arrest Sarath Fonseka earlier on. 

Weerasuriya was also most closely associated with Gotabaya in the criminal white Van operations during the murderous and brutal Gotabaya’s period. Weerasuriya just before the good governance government came into  power took a five years no pay leave  to work as a military attaché in the UN office of South Sudan.  He has now come to SL after taking leave to join Gotabaya on the Chinese tour.

Even when Gotabaya was the defense secretary , it was with Weerasuriya, Gotabaya travelled to China in connection with his illicit commission deals  . Based on the luxury mansion costing Rs. 50 million that is being built in Akuregoda in the vicinity of the army headquarters by Mahinda Weerasuriya , it could be imagined  what amount of filthy lucre he plundered and robbed while he was in the army. 

The most vexatious questions pertaining to these  issues are : how come these scoundrels are still receiving illicit commissions to the detriment of the country  ?   How could Gota be granted permission to travel abroad while there is a case pending against him  based on charges of causing grave loss to the country ? Why are no responsible officials probing into these ?  

If an accused can be  granted permission to go overseas , not because of his  medical condition  or on a matter of importance concerning  the government , then for what reason and why on earth was a ban imposed on the foreign travel of that accused?  Is it because somebody wanted to use the impounded passport of the accused to wipe the festering sores in his/her private areas linked to some incurable disease ? the people are justifiably questioning .

The people are therefore naturally and thoroughly disappointed with the slow putrefaction of the much hyped good governance .

If a criminal ,ruthless, lawless villain like Gotabaya who abducted many innocent citizens using the notorious  White Van; said ‘I will hang him’ and threw an army commander who won the  war into jail ; threw the helpless residents of Colombo from their homes to the streets ; threw the rule of law into the garbage bin ; and caused disappearances of law abiding citizens  can be invited to the wedding house of Dudley Sirisena the brother of President Maithripala Sirisena , and if the latter can sit at the same table with him along with the prime minister and gobble meals together , Gotabaya the ruthless rascal being allowed to go abroad to attend the ‘ security conference ‘ to carry out his money laundering and illicit commission collections despite all his criminalities and atrocities is surely not a matter for surprise .
   
However as a media that has always championed the cause of the masses and truth frankly, fearlessly and forthrightly let us  issue a stern  warning to all those in responsible positions :  Though the  masses for good governance who emerged victorious via the Rainbow revolution on  2015-01-08 are remaining silent the dire consequences that can follow shall not be underestimated.
