United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Western Provincial Councillor Sisira Jayakody today lodged a complaint at the Bribery Commission against former Public Relations Minister Mervyn Silva citing several cases frauds among other misdemeanors.

Mr. Jayakody accused Mr. Silva of acquiring money through a fund called ‘Pibidena Kelaniya’ Development Programme and misusing these funds from the time he was appointed the Kelaniya Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Organiser in 2007.

“Illegal and immoral activities increased drastically with the appointment of Mr. Silva as SLFP Organiser. Some Rs.15 million was obtained from the business community of Kelaniya and Kiribathgoda,” he said.

Mr. Jayakody charged Mr. Silva of setting up a fund named, ‘Kiribathgoda Suhada Welanda Sangamaya’ and obtained Rs.200,000 each businessman claiming the funds were for the Kelaniya the Kelaniya Vishnu Devale peraharas.

“He collected about Rs.40 million under the pretext of the Perahara and misused them. We handed over the evidence we have collected to the Bribery Commission and asked for a proper investigation into the charges,” Mr. Jayakody said. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Now it is the "Blue Prison Bus" era for UPFA era.

Vijith Pieterz Saturday, 07 February 2015 02:03 PM

No problem 100 days programme will reveal the truth and Doctor Silva will count the bars very soon.

Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 07 February 2015 02:01 PM

None of the Governments had this much of thugs, crooks, looters and cheaters other than UPFA. This doctor was instrumenting lot of illegal operations.

Horri Jimonis Saturday, 07 February 2015 01:18 PM

No mercy should be shown on this guy. Arrest him and put him behind bars.

Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 07 February 2015 01:16 PM

Yes, this man and his son deserves severe punishment without any further delay.

J Palitha Saturday, 07 February 2015 01:15 PM

Mr. Ananda, you are correct. With this nasty man, even the rest of the thugs should be punished before 100 days.

Vijith Pieterz Saturday, 07 February 2015 01:13 PM

Globally this four footer is counted as a thug of UPFA regime. He deserves severe punishment.

Horri Jimonis Saturday, 07 February 2015 01:12 PM

You mean Father

MADUKRM22 Saturday, 07 February 2015 05:42 PM

Even commenting on this subject is a waste of time.

What goes around comes around!!!

Bubble Banda Saturday, 07 February 2015 12:13 PM

Correct place for this Lunatic doctor and his son is the JAIL.

Vijith Pieterz Saturday, 07 February 2015 12:12 PM

He has to spend the rest of the days in the jail, that is for sure.

Horri Jimonis Saturday, 07 February 2015 12:11 PM

First person to go against him from Kelaniya Sumangala Samaraweera opposition leader of PS and filed SC case and got stay order to stop illegal breaking walls of Jayanthi Mawatha. Upul Jayasooriya did the case as a help.

ab Saturday, 07 February 2015 07:13 PM

indika Saturday, 07 February 2015 07:21 PM

these allegations against him should not be just another complaint but proper investigations has to be made

kanchana Saturday, 07 February 2015 08:12 PM

Nothing is going to happen to him because he made some complaints about the Rajapakse to the CID. After the election he will be rewarded with the state minister ofOf unethical activities under jahapalanaya government because of the great story he created against the past president.

Sara Saturday, 07 February 2015 08:26 PM

PIBIDENU Kelaniya, welawa hari.

Perumal Saturday, 07 February 2015 08:53 PM

Exactly! But this time he seems to have earned the wrath of the boss. Hence the complaint to BC by proxy.

Vijith Pieterz Saturday, 07 February 2015 09:27 PM

Indeed talking about a 3rd grade cracko.. is a waste of time. But this criminal should not be let free.

Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 07 February 2015 09:33 PM

Wait putha wait. !!!! now only game started, before 100 days they will be all out.

Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 07 February 2015 09:34 PM

No he is a buffalo.

Horri Jimonis Saturday, 07 February 2015 09:37 PM

How can we call him as "Doctor", he even study up-to Grade 8. True, check his educational qualifications when the inquiry is on..

de silva Saturday, 07 February 2015 10:51 PM

There are several politicians who should be wiped out from this political scene.This person and s.b.dIssanayaka are a few to name.

Rose Perera Saturday, 07 February 2015 11:11 PM

Nims Saturday, 07 February 2015 04:28 AM

He claimed that he came from a wealthy family. Why the hell did he work at a Cooperative store and at the kitchen at Horagolla. May be it was his hobby?

Sylvia Haik Friday, 06 February 2015 06:59 PM

When asked how he acquired the Lamborguini, Mervyn Silva said his business interests could afford a 100 Lamboguinis. So this is his business.

Janaka Friday, 06 February 2015 06:15 PM
