Godahewa who illegally gave Rs. 5 million of securities exchange commission to Namal arrested -All suspects remanded until 14 th

(Lanka-e-News- 08.Dec.2015, 1.40PM) The former chairman of securities exchange commision , Dr. Nalaka Godahewa who was absconding arrest was at last taken into custody last morning (7). He was later remanded until the 14 th of December after he was produced before the Fort magistrate Priyantha Liyanage yesterday. 

The ex Director General Dhammika Perera and Director Ronny Ibrahim ,(Carlton sports club Director)  of securities exchange commission were earlier arrested by the FCID on the 4 th, but Godahewa could not be arrrested.  The securities exchange commission became  most notorious during the lawless Rajapakse regime on account of its  monumental corruption .All the suspects were remanded until the 14 th.

During the tenure of office of Dhammika Perera and Godahewa , a sum of Rs. 5 million was illegally granted to Namal Rajapakse the son of Alibaba (the chieftain of the thieves ).This sum had been purportedly given to Namal for his ‘Tharuniyata hetak’ organization supposedly to educate the youths on stock brokering despite the law stating explicitly and expressly that the funds of the commission shall not be used for any purpose otherwise than stock exchange affairs. 

The signatories to this payment approval for Namal were Dhammika Perera and Nalaka Godahewa. These Directors perhaps thought by helping the so called Tharuniyata hetak , they can gain under ‘ horata hetak’ program under the last regime  . But to their dismay , Alibaba lost his ‘Rata hooragana kana hetak’ following the political upheaval.
