JVP reveals extensive details of corruption in Sri Lanka including Rajapaksas and Premadasa
Leader of the JVP, Parliamentarian Anura Kumara Dissanayake today (May 03) revealed extensive details of incidents of corruption in the country.
Speaking during a media briefing at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute, MP Dissanayake revealed that they had over 500 files on politicians, former ministry secretaries, and investigative officers involved in defrauding public funds
In his disclosure, MP Dissanayake said Yoshitha Rajapaksa and Namal Rajapaksa and Basil Rajapaksa had defrauded public money through Nimal Perera and Thirukumar Nadesan.
The files revealed included the France AirBus deal, Gin Nilwala project, Krrish Deal, Hedging Deal and Hello Corp Deal.
He also revealed that Sajith Premadasa had misused Rs. 3 billion funds of the Central Cultural Fund without proper approval.
According to MP Dissanayake, most of Former Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa’s properties are in the name of businessman Thiru(kumar) Nadesan.
“One of the most infamous deals was the one with the Gin Nilwala Diversion project (GNDP) for Rs. 4,100 Million to China CAMC Engineering Co Ltd,” he told reporters at the media briefing.
Dissanayake said that China CAMC Engineering Co Ltd has a bank account in Hong Kong and it released funds to ROOD International to the tune of USD 5 Million on separate occasions.
The company in question belongs to Thiru Nadesan, said Anura Kumara adding that ROOD International transferred funds to a Sri Lankan bank in Colpetty, and the money deposited to that account was used to purchase the infamous property in Malwana.
MP Dissanayake said recently an international revelation was made that the government in 2014 paid USD 6.5 million through then Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka Ajith Nivard Cabraal to an American businessman Imaad Zuberi, who was a CIA mole, to buy influence and fix Sri Lanka’s image in the United States.
The MP said Zuberi is currently serving 12-years in prison.
MP Dissanayake said Governor Cabraal paid USD 6.5 million adding that he too rightfully should be serving a prison sentence.
The Parliamentarian also noted that investigations revealed that the funds directed to Zuberi were not used to influence Sri Lanka’s image.
He questioned why such investigations are not carried out locally, adding that any investigation carried out internationally has links to Sri Lankans.
MP Dissanayake said all such incidents took place under political protection.
The MP added during the 2015 Presidential Election a large sum of funds of the Sri Lanka Transport Board, the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, and several other institutions were used to sling mud at then-candidate Maithripala Sirisena.
MP Dissanayake added businessmen jointly have engaged in various corrupt deals as well.
He noted that corruption is not carried out by a single individual arbitrarily, adding that those engaged in corruption do so with the state’s blessings and are protected by the state.
Dissanayake charged that the group elected by the supremacy of the people are misusing their powers for personal benefits, adding that the corrupt ring includes businessmen and not just politicians, who were responsible for the sugar, Value Added Tax, and Customs scams.
The JVP leader also charged that there are deal businessmen, around 50 administration officers, secretaries and directors of state institutions, investigative officers including Policemen, media organisations, and individuals within the legal system of the country.
He noted this corrupt and fraudulent system must be defeated.

HAS THE INVESTIGATOR Anura Kumara Dissanayake OR HIS PARTY RELEASED THESE DOCUMENTS TO THE PUBLIC OVER THE INTERENT, OR IS IT ONLY FOR THE SHOW? If those are freely accessible on the then I would believe there is some truth behind, since if not true, he will be liable before the law. If not it is all STINKING HOT AIR!
Extensive material on high level corruption is freely available in the Web; most are authenticated via independent investigations.
< 5 of the 225 MP's in Parliament have declared their assets & liabilities despite being required to do so by Law.
The clarion call from GotaGoGama and MynahGoGama which has spread countrywide, is for the President and the 225 members of Parliament (including JVP) step down to free the Nation from utter mismanagement and continuing corruption.
Starving people are being driven crazy by the corrupt leaders sitting in their high chairs and dreaming of Consensus Governments, Consensus Cabinets and what not, while creating laughable comedy on political stances and corruption denials.
Abrew, Extensive crap including your smuggled dollars under nuclear waste few days ago, available on the web, most are authenticated by crappy, self appointed investigators like you. Nothing else. That was why after five years investigations by Presidential commissions and various other commissions directly responsible to the them PM, not a single allegation has been proven and the public ushered the whole R family back into power just a couple years ago. You can feed your CRAP to those Andares from Anthare going on the rampage. Not to people like me who think before believing and accepting. Except on few places on earth, the responsibility of proving falls on the accuser for pretty obvious reasons, may be you are unable to understand. Let there be shiploads of crap on the web you are referring to. Those will only feed the mob hell bent on self destruction, won’t stand a chance before court or when scrutinised. People produced much cherished Panama Papers were authentic enough to put them on the web for people to look at them. Instead of posting a lot of stupid crap in reply to my posts, I suggest you spend more time trying to find out where I live using my computer IP number and trying guess which university batch I belonged to. By the way what happened to Pu-Ka Ka? Suffering from USMURUTTAWA and DIARRHOEA after eating too much NGO provided sandwiches in the Gall Face Green? As soon as I mentioned plagiarism and being the same person writing with multiple Onlanka accounts, Pu-Ka Ka disappeared!
IF HE CANNOT RELEASE THOSE FILES TO THE WIDER PUBLIC AND MEDI OVER THE INTERENT, HE CAN FEED THOSE TO THE Andare leding Anthare! I thought few days ago he marched telling he was going to have something this way or that definitely, but nothing happened.
