Why is only my father blamed? : Onella

A A A

Foreign Affairs Minister Ravi Karunanayake's daughter Onella has made an impassioned plea on her Facebook page asking why it was only her father to blame “in such a huge Government?”.

“Just ask yourself? Why only one man’s name comes up all the time in such a huge government?” she asked, making comparison to her father's testimony.

Minister Karunanayake while testifying at the Bond Commission also asked the same question from the Attorney General when questioned about the undated and un-referenced letter sent under his signature.

“Why am I the only one to blame? There was collective responsibility,” he said.

Below is Onella's full Facebook post:

"Am not at all a person who uses social media to express views or thoughts in lengthy status messages but i fell that sadly today it has come to a point where i feel i at least have to voice out my thoughts on the same platforms that my family is getting character assassinated on.

I have seen many articles circulated all around social media about my father for a very long time but for the first time i feel i need to intervene and speak out cause this particular time it is a malicious constant attack on his character that is orchestrated by others who aim to achieve other things trying to make my father a fall man.

I see everyone very easily resharing content on many pages on social media but all have only one name. My fathers name. Does everyone really believe for the last couple years everything in the government is just one man and that we have been getting hit cause we deserve it or that maybe there is a pattern to this madness now?

I know that when situations arise we all want to get to the bottom of things and find someone responsible for it but are u sure that all the sites carry facts or have you ever though that this could be well planned and paid attempts from others in politics who would need to cover up there sins by directing all negative attention to one man?

Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech but with freedom of speech also comes the responsibility to know all the true facts and figures and not only the damaging views that are paid to catch on to all.

I cannot change everyones opinions about how you see my family but i respectfully just ask you to think before you fall prey to these well paid character assassins targeting just one man constantly.

I have learnt bitterly over the years that politics is a dirty game and some in it will stop at nothing to achieve the individual goals no matter who they hurt along the way.

So if you have actually taken time to read through this fully all i want to ask you at the end is please think. Thinking can one man do everything all the time? Can one man always be doing these things jus to get negative publicity or is he actually being framed and made to be the fall man again and again?

Please all i ask you is to think before u form a one sided opinion cause again like i have learnt the hard ways politics is not how it appears to be. Think if u have all the facts cause i know that you will be surprised if u really sit to think whats going on.

Just ask yourself? Why only one mans name comes up all the time in such a huge government?

Again everyone is free to think how they see it from the facts they have but i have now given you a small view from my family's side. So please just open your eyes and think a little because in this instance its not any commission but the media and the public that has been the judge, jury and executioner.

Like my father said after visiting the commission that day and coming out:

"I can accept the spearing of an enemy's arrow but the pin pricking of friends is much more hurtful," she said.

    Agree that there can be some malicious campaign against your father. However, couple of things worry me. Firstly, there can not be smoke without fire always. Secondly, how come Aloysius happened to pay the rent and other payments for your penthouse? Since your father said that he didn't know about it and that it was you and your mother who handled it, you have a responsibility to answer the people of this country.

    Gamage Saturday, 05 August 2017 06:54 AM

    So, who else do you want us to blame ? Since you have accepted he is only one of the gang, take the next step, name the rest.

    Onella, Kindly go through all the comenets and you decide what Rogue family you and your family have been. If you rob from the poor, you will have to pay it in this life and life after. I personally also curse you for what your family has done to this country!!!

    Sarah Hapu Friday, 04 August 2017 06:08 PM

    Because he is the biggest rogue, The biggest fish get caught first Nangi.

    Upul Friday, 04 August 2017 06:11 PM

    If he expose the entire group involved in this bond scam he wouldnt become the fall man. Its up to him to divulge it or not, to become the fall man.

    Upul Friday, 04 August 2017 06:22 PM

    Sorry Darling your dad don't have good character to talk about. he is character any way.......

    chinta Friday, 04 August 2017 07:30 PM

    May be quite a lot, MPs who signed COPE report with foot notes,more senior fellow desperately attempted to cover up in parliament during debates,other minister who joined your father at the meeting just couple of days before this infamous,greedy,bond scam, they are all part of this huge robbery, while public are forced to pay more as VAT,if you know other than your father whom got involved its your duty to inform the commission i

    In law of nature,what goes round comes round.your father has always had a shady character since Mr Lalith Atulathmudali's demise.Law of Nature will always GET YOU (good or bad) when its time is correct.

    Most people don't know this connection bro... daughter you know the truth cos you have been enjoying it all this time, accept the shame associated with it!!

    Anton Monday, 07 August 2017 08:33 AM

    Sad to say, your farther has proved very well in the past that he was the biggest dignified rogue swallowing C.W.E. innocent people’s money in Sri Lanka, and having luxurious life. Did not you know about it? He is born rouge and cunning minded. He robs money even from beggars on the road, for him and his family to have luxurious life very ugly.He is known as spick and span dignified rogue worst than street a pickpocket. The statement you have made to protect your farther but do not think people are fools they know you are trying to cover up your father’s sins, and your family too have taken part indirectly to make more illicit money is that not correct? It was a cut and dry robbery.Remember there is no smoke without fire, just ask yourself is your farther not a rogue? Why not? Explain! Be honest being a politician does not rob the money of innocent people in the country, it is only for a short time. Now what is your reputation? If wealth is lost nothing is lost. If health is lost something is lost, if character is lost everything is lost

    malij Friday, 04 August 2017 07:53 PM

    Stop whining and blaming everybody under the sun (including AG's department) after getting caught red handed. Everybody in this country knows how the politicians use their families to launder the money they had acquired by kickbacks and commissions. You have to answer the charges against even you and your family.

    sarath Friday, 04 August 2017 07:59 PM

    I never thought that your father is so stupid to say it was you and your mother involved in the transaction of that Luxury apartment. Your fathers explanation is a betrayal of you and your mother. I will remind how Mervyn silva defendant his son at all times at the cost of his political future but not your father. For his sake betrayed you all.

    ranilr11 Friday, 04 August 2017 08:11 PM

    If your father is innocent no matter what anyone says he has the strength to with stand. If not he will melt like a Ice...

    Socrates Friday, 04 August 2017 08:20 PM

    Why don't you Onela ask the question to yourself. Why only your father, and think about it deeply. You will get the answer.

    Bakaladasa Friday, 04 August 2017 08:48 PM

    What a question!"When many people in the "big" government were "also" involved why only my father"?:)I thought My3 and Ranil were great CHESS maestros.But the MESS they have managed to make !

    Onella I understand your sentiments. He need to prove himself at the commission that he is innocent of all charges without giving foolish answers. via DM Android App

    RK is not the only person who should be blamed. Seems RW trying to divert the accusations to RK

    Because he is a Bloody Rogue

    Chris Ekanayake Saturday, 05 August 2017 06:33 AM

    Because no other person's rent was paid by Aloysius, especially not for a penthouse.

    Citizen Saturday, 05 August 2017 06:33 AM

    Your dad has got caught in the biggest scam in recent history. What to do now?

    Ranjan Athukorale Saturday, 05 August 2017 06:39 AM

    If your dad has selective memory and is delusional its a sign of a disability and its not fair on the tax payers to fund him as our country's FM don't you think? Please talk some sense in to him if you're a tru patriot.

    ala Saturday, 05 August 2017 06:49 AM

    Dear Ornella, your father is involved in lot of controversies starting from CWE. The recent controversies are granting permission to operate a liquor company in the east contradicting govt. policy, tax exemption given to 'prado' vehicles where values have been understated. There is no collective responsibility in such thing since the ministry has decided on such things. It is better to wait till the PCol conclude the proceedings. It is a joke to say that your father didi not know where the money came to buy the 'penthouse'

    Rasheed Tuesday, 08 August 2017 11:40 AM

    Yes, then what about taking the Lottery Board with him .

    ROBIN HOOD Saturday, 05 August 2017 06:52 AM

    " Why only one man’s name comes up all the time in such a huge government?” We hope that very soon we will get to know (in the public domain) the ROBIN HOOD AND HIS MERRY MEN - if some one decides to squeal IN THE COMMISSION ABOUT COMMISSION

    robin Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:16 AM

    At least the real ROBIN HOOD of England distributed his spoils to the poor (like us ! )

    jayasiri Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:09 AM

    It is true. Why only one man? Can you, for example, ask a police officer, why only he stops you when you drive on the highway over the speed limit ? True, politicians go to parliament only to rob people's money! Only some get caught.

    suarth Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:16 AM

    Like a good daughter,ask your currupt father to step downif he as the slightest pride,he is currupt to the corestep down Ravi without blullshitting

    Ranjit Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:20 AM

    Thank you for admitting your father was one of the personswho gained from the bond sale.

    OMISSIONS @ COMMISSION Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:25 AM

    Your father has made many omissions (in his evidence) at the commission - what we fail to understand is -- he seems to have been least worried (to ascertain) how he came to stay in the Penthouse ( which modestly as he referred to at the commission as "house" ! ) -- AS you know Penthouse means "a flat ( mainly on the top floor of a tall building ), typically one that is luxuriously fitted." and in this instance two of them made into one and given to you'll !. Come on - whom are you'll trying to fool

    Ranjit Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:28 AM

    Why are you defending your father? Don't you realize thathe betrayed you and your mother by informing that both of you had dealings with Aloysious?

    IMPORTANT QUESTION Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:21 AM

    Din't Aloysious come into your radar after his wealth acquired on the Bond Scam. ?

    Sameen Jan Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:37 AM

    Now that RK has ratted on the family and the family rats on others,("why only my father is blamed" ) is an admission of guilt.RK knowing what your mother did for 9 months shows some mighty hole in the brain.Has he forgotten how in 2008 he ridiculed the Forces when they started winning the war against the LTTE. He stands condemned just as much as his family.Shame.

    jayamaha Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:53 AM

    Dear Onela, The best you can do is ask your dad to spill the beans - and name everyone else involved in the scam in the big government. I am sure your dad will be happy to do that in exchange for some form of immunity against prosecution. Can you please do that for us dear?

    duminda Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:56 AM

    others will get caught later,

    SL Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:56 AM

    He might tell that he does not know how you come in to his family. so keep away from politics you guys including you and your mom have collectively destroyed the intention of yahapaalana gvt

    Charles Saturday, 05 August 2017 08:34 AM

    You are doing the human and family thing...but in this supposedly close family, how come your father did not know anything about the payment till it was brought up in Parliament? Fact or fiction??

    Fahr zur holle Saturday, 05 August 2017 08:58 AM

    This is a matter that should brought to FCID for investigation. Minister fooling the bond commissioning to avoid punishment. from his comments he has shown his own stupidity, that he is not suitable for foreign minister in any country. Government is very soft on this minister for this issue. If some one from opposition was involved with this crime, can understand the outcome from government. this is the law working in SL practically. it is Huge crime using poor man's money for corrupt minister's luxury. SL economy has shattered because of this theft. prepare to pay the tax

    malij Saturday, 05 August 2017 08:59 AM

    Don't blame politics. It is people like your father, and people like you who encourage and support them to bleed the innocent people of this country, makes it dirty. Your father must be the dumbest ass under the sun, if he has not asked you and your mother how did you'll got the money to pay for the luxury apartment. You can take people for a ride. But not all the people all the time.

    Roshan Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:06 AM

    Dr.J.J 's son was seen in a picture to next to him. That tells me, sure that your father like many before who were exposed badly by the media ( for example leaders, politicians,servicemen,police staff, teachers,other government staff) will one day will prove innocent.But when results come, the damage caused to the country, people,their works, and character will become too late.This is how I have seen things happen in Srilanka and in the world.If one with true GOD and worship only GOD and not others, then they will be saved by GOD.But only few politicians practice this and they are in one principle.Many have deviated because of power comes from the post and seen they have ended their carrier halfway, badly.,Hope he is not.God bless.

    Nilushi Wijesinghe Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:19 AM

    Dear Onella,Facts are stubborn and the truth is bitter. But if you think that your father is not the only guilty person in this controversy then as much as you are trying to standup and speak out on behalf of your father and the rest of your family, why not first ask your father to be honorable and spill the beans irrespective of who the others involved may be, so that all the country's voters would have the truth in front of them. One thing we all must remember is that when we point out a finger at anyone four fingers point back to us. We have no right to call anyone theives, cheaters etc...when we too indulge in the same acts of injustice.

    malij Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:21 AM

    My dear Onella, there are two cardinal rules that the people who live in glass houses must know and obey. The first is that they must not throw stones at others. The second is that they must always wear clothes. Looks like your family has forgotten both rules.

    Jema Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:28 AM

    We have no problem with rich and wealthy who earn their money respectfully. However where is honesty, decency, integrity and dignity? Living in unimaginable luxury from poor desperate people's money who can hardly afford 3 meals a day. How do you sleep at night?

    Jigsaw Jakson Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:39 AM

    Ok , now how come two ladies accept such a big gift from a business man when your are the immediate family of a finance minister? what where the both of you thinking ?now we all know that common sense is not common at all. Are the both of you kept by this man? why so much money, even if he is a friend? wrap your little head around that my dear.

    Anthony Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:40 AM

    Dear Daughter, I can understand all what you say, but your Dad who spoke about the former reign, calling them rogues, has made a very big blunder in life, and you and your mother too have tarnished his name by your Dad saying he does not know anything, tell him to resign and live a happy family life.

    roscoe Saturday, 05 August 2017 09:56 AM

    Next to Alosyus, your father, mom and you know more about the bond scam than most of us . Otherwise you would not be mentioning the two words "big Government". So it is time for you/mom to go present yourself at the commission and spill the beans about Alosyus and the big government. The commission will decide what to do next. Most likely a pardon. longer you delay, it is bad for you guys.AG department has done their homework pretty well. Your fathers lawyers look even worse than kindergarden kids.

    REEZ Saturday, 05 August 2017 10:02 AM

    Good bye Onella, We all voted for Yahapalanaya to get rid of rogues. But unfortunately rogues captured a rogue(s) and made us fools. We are not in a position to listen to your plea and cannot say sorry to your papa. You have lived a luxurious live while we are paying tax and cannot even think of earn at least Rs. 50,000/- per month. What about the poor families living in the rural areas. How many people live with one meal per day. How many people live even without meals for days. Please tell who are the other thieves to get rid of all of them and re-start the good governance at least for the remaining years.

    M.M.M.Izzeth Saturday, 05 August 2017 10:07 AM

    Yes your 100% correct,not only your father rest of the cabinet also

    CP Saturday, 05 August 2017 10:12 AM

    It's time for RK to resign and stay at home. We were critical of MR's regime taking the general public to be fools. Now these guys are doing the same. To have a senior minister who handled finance, not knowing or not bothering to know how on earth the wife and daughter got a penthouse, is a serious threat to this government. I like his briefing to the press after the inquiry that he has proved all the allegations are false. What has he proved by claiming ignorance. Is this how you prove your innocence?

    H.D.Gunaratne Saturday, 05 August 2017 12:13 PM

    Onella, I fully agree with you. My symapthies.

    "I have learnt bitterly over the years that politics is a dirty game and some in it will stop at nothing to achieve the individual goals no matter who they hurt along the way." You learned it from your father!

    sunil Saturday, 05 August 2017 07:57 PM

    Dear Onella,I will not accuse your father as a rogue unless proved beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law. However, all must remember that plaundering public money for personal use will result in big karma that will go from birth to birth. This karma will have to be faced with consequences like being born poor, losing wealth, being cheated and losing your property etc. So, it is better to earn your money either through your profession, business or go abroard.and not through corrupt means.

    Ravi Monday, 07 August 2017 02:29 AM

    Dear Onella,i read your opinion very carefully.Here is my opinion.Yes Govt.. consist of lot of other individuals.Always remember two wrongs or multiple wrongs will never make one right. According to your Fathers statement He was not aware of this deal You and your Mother made it. It is your turn to tell the People of Sri Lanka the truth about this deal.Please come clean as this has done tremendous hurt for the islanders. Sri Lankans are very generous and understanding people.Please tell this wounded nation, the truth. So as a nation we can move to the next chapter. It is wise for your Farther to resign with immediate effect.Please learn from this mistake and keep your family together and support at this difficult hour. Do not forget the people of Sri Lanka .

    George Monday, 07 August 2017 06:25 AM

    Onella, Your mother and you would have been unaware of your father's dishonesty. I agree it may not have been only him. Several other high profile politicians were involved in the scam. May be you can advise your father to come clean and divulge what really happened. That way he would only be collectively responsible.

    Suren Monday, 07 August 2017 06:50 AM

    He will play out Foreign Ministry also. He has already made such a blender soon after assuming duties. Secretary to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already leaving because of a group of ideats with your Dad. Good bye and go and live in Kotte.

    navinda wickramasuriya Monday, 07 August 2017 08:32 AM

    Her problem is catching only 1 thief when there is a lot around RK. Big thieves, medium thieves, small thieves.

    navinda Monday, 07 August 2017 08:39 AM

    I am so sad about what these guys have done to my country. Not just these guys, but also all the governments since the time I can remember. How unlucky we are, SL is becoming a place like Bangladesh, where there is no governance, no ethics, no respect, no disciplines.

    Mr.Perfect Monday, 07 August 2017 10:00 AM

    So far he is the only one who got caught. That's why.

    Jaliya Monday, 07 August 2017 11:23 AM

    Onella, where did you think the payments for the penthouse come from? You have the nerve to ask for sympathy, but didn’t care where the money came to pay for the apartment. Let me give you a hint……. It’s the money belongs to the treasury and the people of sri lanka ! Yeah…… I can see you are on the same track as your farther ……….experience politicians their families are the most corrupt, dishonest and untrustworthy. Everyone involved here need a new house…. not a penthouse we call that the JAIL house !!!

    FHe was Firederick van Buuren Monday, 07 August 2017 11:48 AM

    He was Finance Minister, and the Central Bank is under his control , so the buck ,stop with him .

    Mano Monday, 07 August 2017 03:51 PM

    Once you are in the politics, you need to live with these. See how MR is coping and imagine how many people ( including RK) in the current government called him and his family "Hora". It is high time that the current government brings all the corrupt politicians before the rule of law. That is why we voted for the current government.

    Rohan Monday, 07 August 2017 08:37 PM

    Looks that your father is effected with Dementia. Take him to the Doctor who passes out from the SITAM.

    This beautiful lady cannot do anything for what their father has done. Perhaps she too might not aware of any wrong doing. Not only Your father there are lot of politicians who have done such corrupt dealings in the past too. best thing is to accept certain things and if you and your family have more wealth donate it to the poor who are suffering from the poverty

    Onela obviously covering her father. Understandable. There's more to her story.Mother and daughter would be aware how Aloysius had raised so much money to pay the rent and also RK's payment of RS.165M for the outright purchase of the Pent house. RK is accountable for not declaring sum a large sum. RK should resign, if not he will be thrown out by the parliament by 'No confidence" motion. Later he can fight his case before the commission if he feels he is innocent.

    Only one man got caught. The question is not whether it is one man or many but that grave corruption has taken place. If someone took part in such corruption and kept quiet (whether by himself or with others), he is responsible for his actions. Also, in a sense, in Onella's post there is no denying that something wrong has happened but an indicating that more were involved.

    Dear Onella, Open your eyes and see around you the poor people. People suffering. You your father and mother have stolen their money their lives their families and their hopes.. This is not the first time. Where ever your father went he stole. Sathosa etc. Greedy for ministerial posts.Dear ask your father about your great grand father. This is nothing new to your family.Your wealth is not earned but all stolen. The shoes you wear belong to the poor people of this country.Please do name the rest.
