This is the guy who cut all the horse deals for his own benefit and desire and screwed the Chairman, MP. Sajin Vaz and President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The probe should be more focused on the resigning CEO and his passport should be impounded until the inquiry/probe is over. He functioned like the “Pukkasaib” of Sri Lankan Airlines.
