President Maithripala Sirisena is to appoint a commision to look into the massive frauds and corruptions carried out in the Mihin Lanka and Sri Lankan Airlines during the Rajapaksa regime.
The President expressed his confidence that through appointing the commission a series of frauds committed during the time could be revealed.
According to sources, the President had made this announcement during a meeting held yesterday (22) with the electoral organizers of the Sri Lanka Freedom party.
The meeting led by the President was attended by senior officers of the SLFP headquarters, President's district organising officers and lawyers.
No forgiveness for thieves!
While stating that the report into the Bond scam is due at the end of this month the President vowed to take action against those involved despite their status.
“People trusted in me to act as a clean politician,” he said adding that he made great attempts to halt corrupt practices. “I will take strict decisions after the local government polls” he further stressed.
Attempts to erase the Bandaranaike name
He also mentioned that it is ironic that those who attempted to erase the Bandaranaike name are now using the pictures of S.W.R.D and Sirimavo Bandaranaike in the campaign of G.L Peiris’s political party.
He pointed out that remembrance of the party founders was halted in 2011 by these individuals he further added. “They even removed the pictures of them in the party headquarters” he noted adding that therefore it is ironic they are now using the Bandaranaike name in the campaign.
