Former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran had recommended that the Rs.2.6 billion bid made at the bond auction be ignored and the Rs.10 billion be accepted instead, Central Bank Statistics Department Additional Director Dr. M.Z.M. Aazin today told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) inquiring into the CB bond issue.
He testified that the documents relating to these recommendations had not been submitted to the Parliamentary Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) when it inquired into this matter.
Dr. Aazin said the former governor who visited the auction once, had returned for the second time one and half hours later and asked about the details of the Bond sale and inspected the ‘Bid Sheet’.
He told the Commission that all Central Bank Directors including him expressed their objections to the instructions given by the then governor Mahendran but they kept mum after the Deputy Governor told them that Mr. Mahendran was not keen to change his stance.
Dr. Aazin’s evidence was led by Senior Deputy Solicitor General Priyantha Navana who assists the Special Commission comprising Supreme Court Judges K. T. Chithrasiri and Prasanna Jayawardane and former Deputy Auditor General V. Kandasamy. (Manopriya Gunasekara and Ranjan Katugampola)

You are probably not reading my friend. And obviously you don't know how bidding works as well.. mahendran passed info to his son in law that govt now seek more money than they told the bidders without other bidders knowing that information. So while everyone was bidding for 2.6 mahendran son in law bid for 10 billion with high interest and since no one else knew CB wants such money he got that bid at almost 2% more than the going rate. That is the robbery it was competed fairly and in countries like USA these things has laws and mahendran would have been jailed for many years for this"inside trading" fraud.

He would never have considered trying something like this in Singapore. It goes to show that everyone knows they can get away with anything in Sri Lanka.

He was bound to collect the sufficient money urgently needed by the GOVT. He did it and the GOVT was saved. This is what I understand. via DM Android App

When a small Man/women Robs she or he is kept in Remand or bailed out if he has the money. When the Big Educated Man Robs ( knowing the loop Holes ) he is out and he knows he will be never caught.Only his heart will know what he /she did ( and the almighty God ) It is time God Sent his Son Jesus Christ again ( second coming ) and takes control of the world. It is so fearful to live in the world now. But God will decide soon.

At least "Yahapalanaya" is working, I haven't seen something like this in my lifetime, yet in SL. We should be patient to see the final outcome of it. I believe Mahendran will be prosecuted

This is not news. The fact that Govt wanted over Rs.10 b was told clearly. He merely did what was asked?
DJ Saturday, 04 March 2017 08:31 AM
The man is guilty as he'll. Why does justice take so long in mother Lanka?

Oh! Mr. Mahendran if 1% of this is true you can thank your lucky stars that you attempt any thing like this in Singapore.By the way to put your mind at ease don't worry nothing will come of these commissions Your pal RW will see to that, and more over case in point just look around how well Rajapaksa's and their cronies doing add to the list last RB Governor living the life of supper rich without impunity. How the history will judge you a brilliant economist or self riches Looter remain to be seen. So far things not looking good. But never mind least you got the money in the bank for your troubles.
