The latest news that Avant Garde has
begun to remove the weapons from the mother ship Mahanuwera is a clear attempt
at further disrupting the Government’s attempts at investigating the
activities, and using the unfavorable climate operating as an excuse. They are
attempting to divest the Rakna Lanka operations from Avant Garde, so they can
operate independently of the Government owned institution, further complicating
the manner in which this operation is investigated. Whilst Mahanuwera was so
old and breaking up, transferring to Mahaweli a sister ship also owned by the
Shipping Corporation is also possibly part of the deliberately confusing
action.
The Company claims to offer a service to
the Security Companies the world over in managing the Pirate Surveillance
operation, and has made out to their clients that the Govt. owned operation of
Rakna Lanka are a barrier in the efficient operation of the business, and are
so attempting to use this as an excuse to pull the wool over the eyes of the
sleeping security forces, to manage this flotilla of arms without ANY controls,
that had previously been in place!
There is NO point of the GOSL intervening
once the horse has bolted from the stables, and Mahanuwera is left bereft of
arms!!! It gets much worse.
Why is the GOSL so ignorant of the
capacity of these operators to fool them and completely befuddle them with all
sorts of threats and innuendo, as they do not understand the business. least of
all the investigators appointed to check this out.
It is NO secret that a deal was to be
done to sell arms, boats or whatever to the Govt. of Nigeria, and the
intermediary was the Avant Garde chief Senadipathi. With the previous Navy Chief
they had previously gone to Nigeria to establish the links and agree on the
broad terms, so that a huge amount could be siphoned off as commissions that
would not be seen the light of day on the Island of Sri Lanka and instead go
straight to some offshore account, with SL Navy being given a pittance for the hardware!
For the GOSL to even grant them
permission to leave for Nigeria boggles the mind, considering the deal they are
about to do!!!
There is NO question the investigators
are unable to put their fingers on the problem, and so are sending out
statements that everything is above board when it hardly is. The clever ways in
which the funds have been hidden in testament to the ability of the leaders of
this venture to control the people, with huge bribes even after the new Govt.
took over and continue as if nothing has happened. The bribes are too great and
too tempting to ensure there are NO hiccups. So much of the favorable news emanating
is as a result of massive bribes to them.
Sena is very confident they will not be
stopped. He is bribing the people to make the statements we now see in the
press. People hired by him are making statements that are anti govt. and people
and SLwill lose billions in foreign income. The cunning fox he is, is paying
for the news to discredit the GOSL, that if he loses his licenses the Country
will lose big time, and it is all the Govt. fault for persecuting him. This is
the modus operandi to be let out scot free!
