Pujitha’s ‘sir’ is Sagala, but who is ‘Sagala’s ‘sir’?

Dec 10, 2016

President Maithripala Sirisena and prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on the 08th held a special discussion at the parliamentary complex to identify the ministers who protect and harbour the corrupt Rajapaksas.

The focus of the discussion was the ministers who influence the investigations against the Rajapaksas and their henchmen. Those who were present identified and strongly criticized law and order minister Sagala Ratnayake, justice and Buddha Sasana minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe and home affairs minister Vajira Abeywardena as the culprits.

Internal trade minister Malik Samarawickrama said minister Sagala Ratnayake was calling ex-defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa as ‘sir’ (the senior minister who revealed the details to us said Samarawickrama and Ratnayake were having a deep enmity). At the meeting, the president and the PM agreed that these three ministers should definitely be removed from their positions at the cabinet reshuffled expected early next year.

At this meeting, it was revealed that Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe was having close connections with the Sri Lanka Podu Jana Peramuna, whose symbol is the ‘flower bud’. State intelligence has pointed out that he could be the first government minister to join the new party. All those present at the meeting unanimously pledged to prevent a collapse of the national government.
