(Lanka-e-News -21.Oct.2024, 7.45 pm) In recent developments, Udaya Gammanpila, a high-profile Sri Lankan politician, is reportedly demanding the removal of Ravi Seneviratne, the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security. Sources suggest that Gammanpila’s demand stems from concerns over an ongoing investigation led by Seneviratne into alleged corruption and financial irregularities linked to Gammanpila.
At the heart of the investigation is Gammanpila’s alleged involvement in a series of suspicious deals within the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC). According to sources familiar with the case, millions of rupees went missing due to fraudulent procurement deals, and payments were made to fictitious suppliers during Gammanpila’s tenure as a minister. These allegations, if proven, could implicate Gammanpila in serious financial misconduct.
Furthermore, Seneviratne is reportedly pursuing leads related to Gammanpila’s investments in Australia. Questions have been raised about the sources of funding for these investments, and there is concern that the Sri Lankan government may cooperate with Australian authorities to further investigate these questionable transactions. If this international probe materializes, it could pose a significant threat to Gammanpila’s political career and personal wealth.
In addition to the CPC-related issues, Gammanpila is reportedly worried about the potential exposure of five luxury properties he allegedly purchased under various individuals’ names. If these properties are linked to ill-gotten funds, they could be seized by the authorities, adding to the mounting pressure on the embattled politician.
With these investigations looming, Gammanpila’s push to remove Seneviratne is seen by some as an attempt to derail the probe and shield himself from potential legal consequences. Critics argue that such a move would undermine the integrity of the ongoing investigations and the fight against corruption in the country.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on the Ministry of Public Security and the outcome of the investigations led by Seneviratne, which could have far-reaching implications for both Gammanpila and the wider political landscape in Sri Lanka.
