(Lanka-e-News- 09.JUly.2016, 8.30PM) It is only recently ( 5 th July ) Lanka e news exposed the fraud amounting to Rs. 925,309.00 under the pretext of blowing balloons (in truth blowing the cash into his own over blown pockets) committed during the Mahinda Rajapakse nefarious decade by the present minister of Highways Dilan Perera a notorious crook and member of the Blue Brigand . Now, it has come to light that when he was the minister of foreign employment under the nefarious decade, he had robbed a further Rs. 3.5 million ‘selling’ the Maha sangha members and pregnant women.
This grave fraud of Dilan Perera has been exposed in the Auditor General’s report No. IS/INV/PC/GDE/2015/14 dated 2015-06-16 pertaining to the SL Bureau of Foreign employment (SLBFE).
A sum of Rs. 2 million has been collected ostensibly to conduct pinkamas and to make offerings to the Maha Sangha members on behalf of the Middle east job seekers at the People’s playground , Hali Ela on 2013-05-11 from the SLBFE. On the same day a further sum of Rs. 1.5 million was collected from the SLBFE on the excuse that offerings have to be made to pregnant mothers. Out of this sum , an advance of Rs. 2 million has been collected for which the permission of the Board of Directors had not been obtained. On a Bank Pay order however this sum has been released to Dilan’s Badulla office on 9 th May 2013.
Dilan had given the excuse , he was making religious offerings to 1115 monks at a cost of Rs. 2000.00 each , and to pregnant women at a cost of Rs. 1000.00 each.
Believe it or not , though this minister Dilan had collected monies from the SLBFE , on 11 th May 2013, no such pinkamas had taken place at the People’s playground , Hali ela . However on a day close to that date , Dilan has had a propaganda rally of his at that venue. No pregnant women had been invited , and according to the Auditor General’s report , the record that 1500 offerings were made to 1500 pregnant women is therefore fake. A complaint has been made in this connection to the FCID , but surprisingly this complaint has not been investigated yet.
What is even more incredible though it is true is , the bill books prepared to show payments made too are counterfeit .The bottom line therefore is Dilan has done all these jiggery- pokery to ‘sell’ the maha sangha and pregnant women of all people ! leave alone the sale of his moth eaten honor.
Incredible but true again ! All these rackets are being revealed not by Lanka e news , rather by the all important one and only Auditor General of SL ! and mind you , that is not against a dishonorable IRC of the country but against a so called ‘Honorable’ Minister who crept into parliament to represent the people , and rescue them from crooks , the corrupt and the criminal IRCs. What an irony ? Whither SL ?
Can such a rascal and rogue of the Blue Brigand taken through the national list and made a minister by the government of good governance enjoy benefits , salaries and perks out of pubic funds ? or should he be put behind bars? Even after learning this bloke is a rogue ,rascal and a parasite on the people , either the government is mad or the people are mad to tolerate him.
Above all, if the new SLFP leaders who are clamoring for re implementation of the Bandaranaike policies are going to make this accomplished rogue and shameless scoundrel the media spokesman , the tongues of those who propose that must be examined by a veterinary doctor specialized in treating venomous bites , for certainly they too must have forked tongues if not double tongues.

Mr President.
Please act what you preach. You can set example to all in the government that you do not tolerate if anyone flounders public funds. You became President on this promise.
Of course you do not know whether Mr Dilan is guilty or not. But you do not have to be judge , the jury and the police when there is complaints against your close associates ( I do not that is happening that way but this article sounds like that) . There are institutes for that . Please encourage these institutes to to carry out their duty's in a impartial manner and either punish or release those who have been accused.
I have all the right to ask this from you Sir as I voted for you in last Presidential election.
