What a joker this Basnayake character
is? Who in their right mind appointed this trumped up Neanderthal with a Gota
type moustache to occupy his office and say Gota had done nothing wrong in
having an account at the MOD with Rs7.5B circumventing all Govt. procedures
with regards to Treasury rules about pooling all funds into the Govt.
He may after inspection of the evidence
be proved correct, but until there is a proper investigation into the aspects
of why the account was kept separate, allowing Gota, emergency funds if he was
unable to obtain Govt. funds in an emergency, already smacks of a misuse of
power, no matter what Gota may say, or the Defence Secretary may insinuate.
I think the Defence Secretary, a man
with questionable record, who upon assumption of duties praised his
predecessor, something he was not required to do, is out of his league, and
appears to have got swollen headed in his position, and appears to be taking on
more of a role than even the Minister in misusing state resources.
Even while the Minister has shunned his
bullet proof vehicle and security, the Defence Secretary, appears to have
embraced both, when if anything his need for security does not even match the
security needed for the Defence Minister’s driver!!!
Time to discard this joker out of sight,
as he is a person who can be a danger due to his inability to grasp the
importance and tactfulness of his job, and if he continues to go mouthing off
on matters out of his ambit, remit, etc, he should gracefully bow out before
being fired.
It seems that Ruwan Wanigasooriya has
been fired as the Army spokesman of the old administration, he sneaked on the last
trip to the Mahanayakes with his minister, a good enough reason to get him out
of there. Now lets hope everything will be ok.
Why do we need a defence spokesman
anyway? I understand that the current appointment of Brigadier K J Jayaweera is
temporary and no defence spokesman will be used in the future as an
unnecessary surplus to requirements
post!
