The President has ordered the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Dr. Nalaka Godahewa to immediately pay for his expenses during the visit to the Seychelles, sources from Temple Trees said.
Godahewa participated in the President’s tour to the Seychelles recently in order to explain to the President details of the recent controversy.
“I will not allow officials to participate in overseas jaunts on public expense as long as I’m the President. Every government official must understand that the country is facing an economic crisis. They need to set an example to their junior officers. If he wants to remain in his job, then Godahewa has to pay every penny spent for his trip to the Seychelles,” the President has said.
It was only the President’s confidential financial advisor, MP Sajin Vass Gunawardena who had spoken to Godahewa during the Seychelles tour since he was ignored by the others, including the President. The talk among the business circle these days is that Godahewa’s “mango friend” Dilith Jayaweera had also ignored Godahewa in the Seychelles. Jayaweera was also a member of the President’s contingent.
It is learnt that Jayaweera is now avoiding Godahewa until the latter’s issue with the President is resolved. Godahewa however has made several attempts to contact Jayaweera.
Well known accountant, Nihal Sri Amarasekera’s son, Sarvajana Amarasekera, who was appointed by Jayaweera as a director in his companies has now resigned from all posts after learning about Jayaweera’s racketeering. Sources say that Jayaweera and his partner Varuni Amunugama have been greatly affected by Sarvajana’s sudden resignation.
