Court orders to investigate assets of Sajin Vaas, Mahindananda and Bandu Wickrema who is hiding in Ports minister’s brother’s house

(Lanka-e-News- 21.Feb.2015, 5.45PM) The Colombo chief magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya gave an order to the CID to conduct an investigation into  the assets of former sports minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage ,former monitoring M.P. Sajin Vaas Gunawardena , former chairman of Ports authority Priyath Bandu Wickrema, and six of  their relatives , and towards this end the assistance of  81 financial Institutions including the state banks and  private banks can be enlisted , Pilapitiya gave permission. 

Based on the information furnished to court by the CID that is conducting investigations  under the money laundering  Act into  the assets and monies amassed by them via their official posts during a short period   , the court gave this order .The CID told court that information must  be collected from the Lands registrar’s department , Inland revenue department , banks and financial Institutions . Court gave permission to the CID to garner information from 81 such Intsitutions.

It is learnt that Vaas Gunawardena in order to conceal his own corrupt activities and misdeeds has by offering bribes to Heads of Institutions that are supposedly against bribery and corruption but are truly  most sordid had shut their mouths , and concealed his rackets. Some heads of these anti corruption Institutions while holding posts of secretaries to the President which are in conflict , are running these anti corruption organizations . Sajin Vaas has given bribes to the leaders of such an organization .

Yet there is a committee duly appointed by the parliament legally empowered to investigate corruption which comprises  Wjedasa Rajapakse and J.C. Weliamuna . This is a legally empowered  organization in contrast to these despicable, deplorable and disgracefully sordid  unscrupulous organizations. According to this legally constituted committee , the second most non political corrupt officer is ex chairman  of the Ports authority , Priyah Bandu Wickrema.

Believe it or not , at the moment this crooked ports chairman Bandu Wickremage is now given security and kept hidden in the house of western province chief minister Prasanna Ranatunge , the elder brother of the present minister of ports. In the past when the port workers protested and demonstrated against the outrageous corruption activities of  Bandu , and made complaints to the present ports minister Arjuna Ranatunge , the latter had communicated by phone with  Bandu the culprit himself who was hiding in his brother Prasanna’s house, and taken decisions. The port workers bitterly frowned upon the conduct of Arjuna and expressed shock and resentment over Arjuna’s irresponsible and callous  behavior .

While these guilty Individuals like Sajin Vaas , Priyath Bandu and  Mahindananda are moving heaven and earth to escape from the liabilities and charges that are being leveled against them by seeking refuge under the various sordid and unscrupulous organizations mentioned hereinbefore , the court order issued today is clear evidence that the authentic committee duly empowered to combat bribery and corruption has commenced to take action legally .
