A new committee has been appointed to run the ‘Movement to Free General Sarath Fonseka’, following complaints about mismanagement of funds of the movement by the previous office bearers, officials said.

Addressing a media conference newly appointed Joint convener of the Movement Parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga told media today that “there were complaints against the previous office bearers of the movement, especially regarding the handling of finances.”

He said this was the reason to appoint new joint conveners and a new committee with Anoma Fonseka as the chair person.

Ven Dhambara Amila Thera who has also been appointed as a joint convener said the movement had decided to introduce changes in their campaign to free the former Army Commander. He said the public would be able to witness the change in the campaign in due course. (Yohan Perera)

    The only way Sarath Fonseka can be released from prison is all the oppositin parties get together and do a mass protest.

    What an insult to find that the committee had misappropriated funds. Who was in this committee? You can not lay the blame for this to the government. The people who were around SFseem to have been involved with this corruption. This is the problem for the downfall of SF. People around him give him dead ropes and mislead him. Poor guy.

    Commitees seem to be the answer to all problems of the Government and opposition. New committes to probe old commitees and so on and on! Finally nothing achieved!!

    Cool!

    We have full confidence in Mrs. Anoma Fonseka, Hon. Arjuna Ranatunge and also Rev. Amila Thero. It is sad that the previous committee misappropriated funds which was purely contributed to save our National Hero.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 02 March 2012 09:31 AM

    It is a real pity and a shame that even committees appointed to free the war hero are involved in misappropriation of funds. Looks like everyone nowadays is only looking for financial benefits even in voluntary work.

    Mismanagement of fund !! Not focus on the mission, their vision is focus on somewhere else.
