(Lanka-e-News -03.Jan.2016, 11.30AM) With the dawn of the new year , based on reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division, LeN is constrained to reveal a most disgusting and distressing piece of news that public funds amounting to many million of rupees had found its way safely through the illicit route into the Family safe of Sirisena.
This is in relation to the musical extrvaganza that was held at Galle face green on the night of 31 st December 2015 to mark the dawn of the new year 2016.The entire responsibility of that extravaganza was borne by the SLT whose chairman is none other than president’s younger brother Kumarasinghe Sirisena , while the organizing and advertising activities of this event were carried out by president’s daughter Chathurika Sirisena as the event manageress of Red Cherry Advertising Co. whose owner (operating from behind the scenes) is Chathurika herself.
(Lanka e news on 26 th November 2015 under the caption ‘Company of daughter of Sirisena along with Janaka gobbling up state funds openly and brazenly’ reported that Chathurika and her husband Thilina Suranjith launched ‘Red Cherry advertising’ by getting Janaka, a close friend of theirs to act as the front man)
Although the full expenditure incurred by the SLT pertaining to this musical show has still not been accurately assessed ,based on information reaching Lanka e news inside information division ,it is in the region of Rs. 300 million ! Of this one third or Rs. 100 million has been coolly, designedly and silently pocketed by the Company of Sirisena’s daughter.
Previously , a similar musical show was organized in Negombo , and that too was by this same company . Through that too a colossal sum of money crept into the safe of Sirisena family. The exact figures of these massive perfidious earnings can be known , only after the right to information bill is passed , or on the fortunate day when the SLT gets released from the grip of the Machiavellian member of the Sirisena family. In any event , Lanka e news always first with the news and best with the views will shortly be able to reveal the actual and exact details of the figures to the nation.
It is obvious the SLT organized this musical extravaganza for no other reason than to enable the Sirisena family to amass filthy lucre. The entire nation is aware how Maithripala Sirisena in the recent past created the necessary environment in the SLT which would be conducive to the Institution to take decisions in favor of such rackets , by chasing out the good governance Directors through the personal intervention of the president himself , and filling the Director board with confirmed notorious crooks of the Mahinda Rajapakse era . Moreover , 17 leaders of trade union organizations who were thought will oppose this move were sent to Malaysia to enjoy to the hilt , in order to shut their mouths.
We on the other hand however wish to reveal frankly, fearlessly and forthrightly ,colossal public funds are being gobbled up through these activities to augment the income and build the financial empire of Sirisena family , based on the following grounds ….
According to the SLT , the aim of these musical shows is business promotion . In other words , it is to induce more customers to use its telephone service , and it is to boost its advertisement towards that. But vis a vis the present state of the SLT this has posed an issue .
At present the SLT is not able to improve its supply of string/ rope telephones because the cables necessary for that are unavailable at the Co. Those are over.
The refurbishment of PEO TV services of Telecom Co. has become impossible. This is because the necessary digital units in that connection are by now over. Since new units are not available to replace the units provided to customers that are now defective , the SLT has no solutions for them .
Fiber optic cables that are necessary to be connected to the homes of customers to provide express internet service are also not available at the Co.
Hence , no matter how much business promotion is resorted to , it is unavailing under these circumstances since the required resources are not available at the Co. Therefore only the morons and mongols with ulterior motives from Polonnaruwa who would promote business without having the resources for refurbishment .
The next vital question is how did the resources evaporate ? - funds are not available.
The SLT is right now managing on the loan of US $ 75 million taken during the past. Now a further loan of US $100 million is being sought because the earlier loan is inadequate. That means all this profligate fun and frolic of Sirisena family is on borrowed money. While this is the dire predicament of the SLT , by appointing the younger brother as the SLT chairman, filling the SLT Director baord with henchmen, and through the company of the daughter SLT funds are being wasted in many millions on musical shows, in order to plunder public monies .This is the stark fact and this is the sorry plight of the SLT !
There is only about 1 % of SLT users who pay monthly bills over Rs. 5000.00 .The majority are users who pay small bills. Among them too a greater many go for Rs.50.00 and Rs. 100.00 reloads. In other words , the Sirisena family is fleecing only these poor hapless customers .
It is an irony of ironies that we (Lanka e news) who just a year ago did everything to install Maithripala Sirisena as the president of Sri Lanka at a time when the lawless , uncivilized , uncouth Rajapakse regime was wreaking havoc on the country, are now compelled just a year later to expose these anti national , perfidious and uncouth activities of Sirisena family of Maithripala .Nothing can be more saddening and disheartening to us who wished and hoped Sirisenas would offer a better and cleaner ‘deal’ for the people who are thirsting for a government of good governance under the Sirisenas. It is an indcontrovertible fact the people at that time who joined in the victorious rainbow revolution of 8 th January 2015 opposed the rapacious family rule because they were looting , plundering and gobbling up the State resources and public funds.
Whether it is the Rajapakses or Sirisenas who are committing those crimes , or even if Wickremesinghes commit those wrongdoings tomorrow , they are crimes nonetheless against the abysmally suffering people and the state.
Earlier on Lanka e news under the caption ‘To the people to whom MaRas aren’t Siras , Siras cannot ever be MaRas,’ reported ,despite evil Rajapakses wielding the powers of five presidents and were carefully preparing the groundwork to be in power for many decades , because they turned into enemies of the people, they were thrown out lock, stock and barrel by the people and no other ,even when they had two more years to hold sway over the country. In the circumstances , it can be sworn most solemnly via the internet that the mendacious Machiavellian Sirisena family that is gobbling up funds through subterfuges, certainly will not be allowed to carry on these perfidies and underhand activities for the next four years , even though Rajapakses could go on until their remaining last two years of their reign.
P.S.
Mangala Samaraweera who was responsible for the most salutary communication revolution in Sri Lanka , streamlined the service and ensured against the delays through registrations that obstructed applicants for phones , and a most popular, efficient minister in this sphere , best noted for his honesty and integirity was got rid of , and this ministry was brought under an amateurish Harin Fernando , a most junior minister of the cabinet, was obviously to facilitate the conspiracy of the Sirisenas to rob and plunder at their will and pleasure.
Believe it or not , though Harin Fernando was made the minister , he was not given the opportunity to appoint the board of Directors by Maithripala Sirisena himself. Harin has accepted the role of a puppet because he wishes that the united government shall progress. But , if this is to continue for long , undoubtedly , it is the UNP including Harin that will have to bear the brunt of part of the blame and wrath for no fault of their own , because 49 % of the shares of SLT belongs to the general treasury under the finance minister.
