A report is to be submitted soon to Army Commander Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya calling for the holding of a third Court Martial against General Sarath Fonseka over alleged illegal tenders carried out during his term as the army chief, Military sources said.

Some 5000 files regarding the case have already been studied and a report will now be submitted to the serving Army Chief and a third Court Martial is likely to be convened within three months, Military sources told Daily Mirror online.

Daily Mirror online reported earlier this month that the Court Martial is expected to include six colonels and one Brigadier. The first court-martial is inquiring charges that the retired four-star General had conspired against Rajapaksa and his family members, besides engaging in politics while being in uniform.

The  second court-martial is looking into charges of violation of military procurement procedures by Fonseka. (Daily mirror online)

    Why uncertainity?
    let the court martial to go on and decide whether he is innocent or wrong. Then it is up to the president to give him a pardon

    What nonsense is this? In a Buddhist Country like Sri Lanka, on this Vesak Day. planning another Court Marital. I wonder what is next?

    Thursday, 27 May 2010 11:14 AM

    This is nothing to do with Buddhism or Vesak Day. The processes need to take place regardless.

    This is a HUGE waste of public money. This whole affair is an imprudent enterprise of the first order.

    And this continues, ad nauseam!
