Wednesday, 17 February 2010 14:19

By Lakmal Sooriyagoda

The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today informed court that they had recorded a statement from General Sarath Fonseka regarding the granting of approval on four suspicious tenders whilst serving as the chairman of the tender board.

When the inquiry into the HiCorp case was taken up before Colombo Fort Magistrate Ms. Lanka Jayaratne today, the CID informed that they recorded a statement from General Fonseka last Sunday, but stated that he was unaware about the owners of British Borneo Defense Company and HiCorp Ltd Company.

General Fonseka had further informed CID that he had followed the relevant procedure into four concerned tenders following the approval of Technical Evaluation Board.

Definately Fonseka is a very clean person. The govt. will try to fabricate something which they do all the time.

-82+119 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:36

Yes certainly. That is why he does not have any money with him or his wife. And his son in law's mother also not much, only 75 million in a safety locker.

-13+37 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:55

Anyone has 75 million. He may have sold a 20 perch land in somewhere in Colombo. It could have been election money collected for use in the General Elections. Dont come to wrong conclusions.

-11+32 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:33

Well said , even politician's supporters spend more than that only on posters and cut-outs.

-48+21 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:50

He said he has a bank balance of only Rs.50,000/=. Yes very clean from outside but definitely NOT INSIDE. More vaults are to be opened, just wait and see the skeletons coming out.

Question why would a guy who had his daughters in USA had to keep the money with Daughter's Mother in Law. Either you are just blinded with conviction rather than patient to hear the full story.

-8+36 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:34

wt is 75mn. compared to billions of US$ transfered overseas during last few weeks of the election.

-33+10 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:05

think, you are fabricating stories even after knowing the truth.. i know truth is bitter

-34+10 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:06

If some one blindfold you ,you try to get rid of it. If blindfold your self you tighten it further. never see the light. never see the reality or truth.
How blind you are Anusha. !. You are not alone. there are 4 millions with you.
I am really sorry about them

-38+13 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:24

Yes Yes fonseka is a clean person who has millions US money in safe custody in the bank lockers.

-34+13 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:28

What the government is trying to find out is how he got this money and from where. Please be patient. The inquiry will show how clean this person is.

-37+13 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:59

Mr. Clean's unclean works comes out......................

-33+13 # Guest 2010-02-17 17:35

-176+46 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:32

His son in law's involvement is suspicious. If MR SF is innocent and he does not know anything about his son in law's work?

-23+11 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:41

-28+147 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:34

So Technical Evaluation Board would be questioned and arrested next????.

-2+26 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:28

Why not chaiman of TEC?

-4+23 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:36

Yes they are Mahinda's gangsters who could twist matters according to their taste.For the sake of Mahinda's money the CID cold create histories to trap down our Hero.

-32+175 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:37

Why isn't the Chairman of Lanka Logistics who awarded the tender questioned ?

-4+24 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:02

Very simple. He is still with the Govt. Otherwise he would have been jailed for some reason.

-2+25 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:09

Because he is a close associate of MR. Nobody can touch king's goons.

-2+22 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:38

No they are the Policy makers of MR, who could fabricte things favouring their nasty master.

-2+20 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:36

-38+151 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:37

Gods will punish wrong doers for sure, see it has just begun..This is only the first step of it, wait and see

-26+5 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:42

Moo Illanne Kewe. This is due to avarice to Power. He wanted to be the president straight away from Army. But it is not ethical. Irony of fate.

-1+16 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:42

It seems that there has never been any reason other than this for the CID to question and record statements with regard to tender procedures in this country before!

-1+16 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:43

Who where the people in the Technical Evaluation Board.....aha... Gen sir dont worry...we are with you.....

-0+18 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:44

The present CID staff would not be enough to investigate the crime committed by the ministers, their thugs and sons, daughters and son in laws. Keep it up your good work and ask for more staff.

-1+16 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:45

Hope the Sri Lankan President got the balls to stand up be counted and find one single tender, irrespective of the department or the ministry, where clean procedures are followed during his watch.

-2+18 # Guest 2010-02-17 14:59

Doesnt MR realize that the more he keeps harassing SF, the less popular he gets?

-11+5 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:02

YES EXPOSE EVERYTHING ,, WHICH SHOULD B TRUE,, DO NOT TRY TO TAKE THE CID PERSONELS FOR A RIDE, THAT ERER IS OVER,

-3+14 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:03

Is this statement authentic and by SF or has the CID cooked it up? Who know! let truth prevail.

-1+15 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:06

I have not seen a brutal regime like this in the world taking political revenge from opornants.

Dear Sir donot worry, If the crane has chances every day , at least once in life time the crab will have a chance . That day the crane will be finished.

-2+15 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:07

Lanka Logistics Chairman is a Patriot who was away for 15 years living in USA so no body cant question him

-21+9 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:09

-1+21 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:20

-1+17 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:30

Let the CID also check on the money and assets in Sri Lanka and overseas of all politicians and their extended families.

What we want is transparency and honesty.

-2+14 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:30

Who approved this tender? MR (Defence Minister) or Gota (defence Sec)?

-2+16 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:30

Is it such a criminal act to arrest and harass the most famous war hero like this? Whole world will laugh at us to see our childish activities

-1+16 # Guest 2010-02-17 15:36

Why did they take so long.Harassment and victimization. What a sorry state we have got ourselves into.What about the politicians who rob the country.THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW.

SF pretends to be a "Thottha Baba" not knowing anything about his SIL's company Hicorp.

-17+4 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:16

The men who wail loudest against corruption are the ones who have made the most.Now SF will be more angry as he has lost 75 Mil parked with his son in law/family.

-4+10 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:41

I hope Fonseka a person from south especially from Ambalangoda and as the person who mastermind the collapse of LTTE is more smarter than those who question him

-21+8 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:42

75M on Danuna's mother's account with no logical explanation, but still there are idiots who support SF. These are proven facts about SF and what we hear about MR are all unproven rumours.

-3+11 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:45

If the tender is been in question, its the problem of the MoD.
All tenders pertaining to defence hardware are to be approved by the Sec Defence or a person nominated by him.

-4+12 # Guest 2010-02-17 16:48

-2+12 # Guest 2010-02-17 18:21

I think this is a good opportunity that other defence deals also should be brought to courts for invetigation so that the people will no the truth behind all the shady deals

-1+7 # Guest 2010-02-18 01:34

These are 'trumped-up' charges ... no real evidence against the newspaper editor ... no real evidence against the 14 ex-servicemen ... that's why the courts released them ...
