This fellow has dished out Rs.200m on the orders of the Big Boss who is bound to say he never gave permission, so lalith collect all the money hidden away and give it back to the Government , to give to the benefit of flood victims. You can get some from the Balcony jumper

The head of the state must be held responsible for this and his civil rights must be abolished for ever.

Nevil Tuesday, 24 May 2016 02:59 PM

He is a government officer. He is not bound to carry out illegal orders given by anybody. He ahs to point out that it is illegal. In my service I too received such orders. But did not obey. I am retired now and living honourable life. These boot lickers did anything to satisfy the boss. They must pay for it.

Cheers for rogues!! Keheliya's life was worth because he was the laundry keeper for Rajapakses!

Is there a public appeal now to collect 200 million to purchase a much needed PET Scanner to the cancer hospital.... My goodness me...what a country

pandith Tuesday, 24 May 2016 02:03 PM

WILLOWS- Are you crazy? He was the top most civil servant responsible for Govt funds. He should not obey orders, but follow govt regulations. All hired guns say- I followed orders

Ask him to pay it back!

First of all let the public know the facts of his(keheliya''s) injury, how it happen? when it happen and under what circumstances it happen. It is in public interest as the funds have gone out of public money.Secondly we need to consider about Mr. Weeratunga's actions. Most of the time public servants carried out instructions as their options are limited.

Mr Weerantunga is innocent, he did obey orders only? catch the one who gave orders, ask Mr Lalith who gave him orders.

Rs 200 mn ??? Check the original bills of all his expenses ..

Sincere Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:28 PM

Its the laundry fee!

Sincere Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:27 PM

When the order came from boss how to say no?

BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:13 PM

Phew allocating 200m for just one minister for a surgery. Oh gosh, isn't their any end or limits to the levels that public money was abused by Ali Baba and his 40 thieves!!!! These are the real terrorists of this nation.

kan Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:11 PM

Vow! Did he go to moon for a surgery to have spent Rs200m?

cheers Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:08 PM

Can we also investigate how Rajitha was in Singapore and who paid the bill, then under UNP few ministers were in London taking treatments from 1977 to 1994 which is still not accounted for

Roman Tuesday, 24 May 2016 12:06 PM

200 MIL???? the hospital must have been 100 times better than the mount elizabeth (if there was a surgery)
