Sumal Perera's links to the UNP

Sunday, 29 March 2015

Super rich businessman Sumal Perera who built a business empire during Chandrika's presidency using Ronnie Peiris further extended his empire during President Rajapakse's tenure extending his business empire to luxury car imports and importing cattle.

It is alleged now that Sumal had close contacts with a prominent UNP stalwart to keep the UNP at bay. At the beginning of Rajapakse Presidency Sumal Perera kept very close links with the UNP Chairman Malik Samarawickrema.

He then got close to Ajith Dias the current Sri Lankan Airlines Chairman and used him as his middle man. It is alleged that Sumal Perera secretly met the UNP leadership during the last Presidential election and gave the UNP a handsome contribution.   

When it got really difficult with all the exposures in the social sites after the election Sumal Perera called on Ajith Dias to take him to the Prime Minister to ensure he was not targeted for attack. It is alleged that Sumal Perera met with the Prime Minister a week ago with the help of Sri Lanka Chairman Ajith Dias and further support was promised to the Prime Minister and the UNP. Sri Lankan Airlines under Ajith Dias continues to buy millions of bottles of Access water.

The current government is certainly losing its popularity by simply refusing to act against those corrupt individuals like Sumal, Thirukumar Nadesen and Jehan Amaratunga and protecting people like Governor Mahendran from prosecution, forcing decent people to court and bribery commission for justice.
