The special news conference scheduled to be held this morning by Avant Garde Maritime Services (Pvt.) Limited Chairman Major (Retd) Nissanka Senadhipathi to state their side of the controversy, had been postponed until further notice due to a sudden illness of its Chairman.

Secretary to the Chairman, Kamal Gamage said the news conference was organized to educate the media on the real facts referring to various information provided to the media and the general public on Avant Garde following the special meeting convened by President Maithripala Sirisena on Wednesday.

He said Major (Retd) Senadhipathi, who was to chair the conference underwent an abdominal surgery last month in Singapore and had been advised to an initial post surgery period of 41 days total bed rest and to avoid strenuous activities for three months.

“However, he was deprived of such rest as he was compelled to attend to certain commitments in business in Sri Lanka. His excessive schedule of work within the last few days had led to the development of a sudden pain and slight discharge from the post surgical area last evening and was recommended by his local physician not to move and to follow complete bed rest until further post surgical evaluations to be held in Singapore,” Mr. Gamage said.

He said that they would call upon the press briefing when Senadhipathi’s health condition improves.

At least the country earned from this operation.How about investigating the Fishing enterprise which the former Minister of Fisheries (present Cabinet Spokesman ) and his personal secretary was involved in. The result was a ban on fisheries exports to EU. That cost the country a great deal of money. Which is more important?

Really? Could have got the self proclaimed "Intellectual" from Maharagama to chair the meeting. We all know that in the "present version of Yahapalanaya" money can do all the talking.

Let us have it out soon - their side of the story. The all important question is whether the country earned more money than when Navy handled the operations ?

Flavius Aetius Friday, 13 November 2015 05:19 PM

What the country was earning before 2012 was reduced by 86% because of them

Very conveniently lied. No balls to face the truth.

Flavius Aetius Friday, 13 November 2015 05:21 PM

Post surgical evaluations. HaHa, nice excuse to avoid arrest.

You mean becos of one operation by him, EU banned SL exports - very hard to believe that.
