The Cabinet is reported to have objected to a memo submitted by Minister Sagala Ratnayake requesting approval to extend the service of an official in the Sri Lanka Port Authority (SLPA).

Sources said this officer is known to have been allegedly involved in several cases of fraud and corruption and a file containing such instances had been submitted by Minister Arjuna Ranatunga who had also objected to the extension of the officer’s service.

The Cabinet had earlier approved his service for a period of three months as director of human resources through a memo had been submitted requesting an extension of six months with the Cabinet recommending that another officer be appointed after the three months extension. (Dayaseeli Liyanage)

Minister Sagala, you will be able to keep your boy once your best buddy NGR comes into power.

So Sagala and that person will go to jail when Gota comes for the financial crimes they have done

Anmanpan Monday, 02 September 2019 10:43 AM

Ha Ha Ha! They are all one and the same, for corruption.

Perumal Monday, 02 September 2019 11:37 AM

No, no Gota will keep both Sagala and him in office.

Does a fraudulent past stop people from entering politics or positions? No! Just look at Minister Hizbullah, and his money dealings with an aviation company!
