Appearing on behalf of Minister Ravi Karunanayake, President's counsel Rienzie Arseculeratne today informed the Presidential Commission investigating the Bond issue that his client is unable to appear before the Commission because the minister had to attend the Security Council meeting summoned by the President.

He also said the minister will be ready to give evidence next Wednesday (August 2).

On questioned by the Commission, PC Arseculeratne said the minister had Parliament sessions on the next two days and will be leaving to Maldives on Monday, thereby according to his instructions he will be ready to give evidence next Wednesday.

Considering the time constrains, the Commission asked the Counsel about the possibility of calling the minister on a weekend day. PC Arseculeratne said he was not instructed on that. (Shehan Chamika Silva)

Will he return from the Maldives. ? If it is an outing and a holiday - better check if Alosious is also going (for a secret maldive fishy meeting) and the cost of travel and stay also being met by Alosious ?

READY ON 2nd Only ? Wednesday, 26 July 2017 12:48 PM

" ready to give evidence next Wednesday (August 2)." -- (READY =verb -prepare for an action or purpose. ) Can we take it to mean - R is going to Maldives "to prepare" what he will have to say on the 2nd and we wonder with whom he will be preparing. ! !

I suggest to President to release him for all his duties for 2 days, So he can give his statement to commission which everyone is awaiting.This is one of the big fish.

Ravi K has invested in property development projects and resorts in Maldives. Go dig and investigate over there what he is up to? Maybe even check how many times he has visited Maldives after coming to power.
