“Ranil And I Belong To The Same Class” – Sacked Ex-Fake Director J’Pura Hospital
In a queer move yesterday, the sacked ex-fake director of Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital (SJGH) has boastingly shared some pictures of himself and his wife under allegation for financial fraud of over17 million rupees of public money, having ‘evening tea’ at the Temple Trees with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and his wife Maithree Wickremesinghe.
Susitha Senaratne, ex-acolyte of Rajitha Senaratne was illegally appointed as Director SJGH in 2015 under the Yahapalana Government. There he engaged in a series of administrative and financial frauds and was consistently protected by Dr Athula Kahandaliyanage who assisted in the perpetuation of this illegal appointment to protect the interest of the minister.
Three honest specialists at the Board and two SJGH employees, in two separate court cases challenged the illegal appointment and Susitha Senaratne was banned from even sitting at the Board Meetings by an order of the Court of Appeal.
Massive Frauds By Susitha Senaratne
Whilst the court case was heard the government auditor revealed damning evidence of a financial fraud of Rs. 17,679,747 where Susitha Senaratne has paid that amount via a fraudulent records digitalization project to a company directed by his wife Ancy Senaratne.
The submission accepted by the FCID has provided documented evidence of the following massive financial frauds committed by Susitha Senaratne:
: Fraudulently paying Rs. 17 679 747 to a company directed by his wife Ancy Senaratne
: Fraud related to the purchase of an incinerator worth Rs 23.5 million
: Fraud related to the purchase of new lifts to the hospital worth Rs 55.0 million
: Drawing a salary of Rs 350 000 per month from Lanka Hospitals, another government enterprise “while working full time at SJGH”.
Karu Jayasuriya’s Shameless Attempt
Two days after the Voice Against Corruption reported this fraud to the FCID, Susitha Senaratne was sacked from his fake directorship and was transferred back as Medical Officer at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital. Two days later, Susitha Senaratne walked in to SJGH with goons. The Acting Deputy Director Dr Prabhath Werawatte, conniving with the Administrative Officer SJGH Sarath Robertson, strategically opened the office sealed off for FCID investigations for Susitha Senaratne to occupy by force.
Following his disgraceful sacking, Susitha Senaratne has been running from pillar to post, going so far as to getting the Speaker Karu Jayasuriya to speak to Rajitha Senaratne on his behalf. He has been desperately begging UNP backbenchers to lobby with Rajitha Senaratne to re-instate him as fake director, SJGH. Rajitha Senaratne has resisted, explaining that Susitha Senaratne is under investigation of millions of rupees of fraud by the FCID and asked them to stay away from interference, Colombo Telegraph reliably learns. “Karu Jayasuriya, both as the chairman of the Constitutional Council and the Speaker has violated the ethics and integrity of the Parliament and the Constitutional Council by lobbying for a UNP supporter. How can Karu Jayasuriya sit on either of these office when he is lobbying for a thief based on party politics?” observers pointed out to Colombo Telegraph.
