Kshenuka to Thailand despite LTTE inclinations
FRIDAY, 13 MARCH 2015
Ms. Kshenuka Seneviratna, who was the Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during Mahinda Rajapaksa regime, has been appointed as the Ambassadress of Sri Lanka in Thailand.
Despite there were accusations with evidence that Kshenuka Seneviratna and her husband had connections with the LTTE international network, former government did not take any action and the move of the present government to appoint her to a foreign mission without taking any action against the accusations against her has been criticized in many quarters.
Ms. Seneviratna was also accused of irregularities in awarding the repairs of the official residence when she was the ambassadress in Geneva in 2009.

( January 17, 2014, Colombo/New Delhi, Sri Lanka Guardian) 1. In November 2009, after her arrival as the new Permanent Representative to the UN, replacing Dr Dayan Jayatilleke, Kshenuka Senewiratne contracted an LTTE company Shelvazug to renovate the Official Residence for more than 150,000 Swiss Francs (i.e., more than 20 million Rupees). Her husband did part of the renovation work and received payment from the Mission via the LTTE company.
2. Why did Kshenuka Senewiratne select Shelva Zug to carry out construction works from cellar to roof top? Shelva Zug is NOT a construction company, but a financial and credit institution also dealing with real estate, life insurance, health insurance, housing and car insurances. Its activities are oriented solely towards the Tamil community. Whatsmore, Shelva Zug is NOT located in Geneva where there are numerous construction companies, but in Zurich, a city 300 kilometers away from Geneva !
