When Arjuna Mahendran was the Governor of the Central Bank, he had transferred 500 members of the bank's staff, including some senior officers and heads of departments, in year 2015 alone, an official said.

Assistant Governor and Secretary of the Monetary Board of the Central Bank, H.A. Karunaratne told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry to Investigate and Inquire into the Issuance of Treasury Bonds, on Thursday, that it was the first time in the bank’s history that so many transfers had been made within one year.

He said about 200 transfers usually took place during a year. He said that in 2015 alone, some 34 officers in 30 departments had been transferred by Mr. Mahendran.

He said that the transfers were unnecessary and the bank's staff were displeased about the transfers. “Due to these transfers some departmental heads met Mr. Mahendran to discuss the matter,” he said. (Manopriya Gunasekera and Ranjan Katugampola)

Just wondering why my previous comment is not published?Wondering if this Institution is pandering to the political needs of one Group? If so, it's unprofessional and unethical.

Ranil should study about you Arjun and he should never support all your bogus affairs. You are a liar man but hereafter you cannot cheat MS.

I am a strong supporter of UNP, but what I want to relate the facts, Arjun Mahendran kept all his Jaffna Tamils under his clause and played out our Public money in billions.

Kiris Baba Amaray Friday, 17 March 2017 10:08 PM

Hay man, you had only your Jaffna people to support you, which is wrong. You too a racialist like Vigneswaran.

Kadupol Jothywansa Friday, 17 March 2017 10:05 PM

A method of creating confusion and theft amidst chaos. This person is clever and is on a mission to bring the country on its knees.

Would like to know who replaced those seats? Police need to inquire about them and should be able to find out many secrets if they do.

He chased the cats away so that only the rats are only left and there will be none to bell the cat.

He was only trying to 'clean up' for safekeeping.

Don't you think it would have been the other way around

Sam Friday, 17 March 2017 07:31 AM

AM is innocent in this Bond Affair. It is a story fabricated by the JO to discredit his service to the country.

S B Lokuge Friday, 17 March 2017 06:23 AM

Obviously the instructions to these transfers came from some politicians. Who are they and who recommended the replacements?

Dot Friday, 17 March 2017 05:13 AM
