Post Master General M. K. B. Dissanayake yesterday alleged that his fundamental rights had been violated by the three-member-commission which had come out with a report on the frauds that had allegedly occurred in the postal service.

Mr. Dissanayake said he had not even been informed about the contents of the report to date. He said that he had an issue with the legitimacy of the three member commission. The report of the three member committee, headed by Former High Court Judge Nihal Silva, was handed over to Minister of Posts and Telecommunication, Jeevan Kumaratunga, recently.

The report held the Post Master General responsible on 16 charges that have been brought against the postal department. It had also been stated that he was indirectly responsible for the other five charges as well.

It was revealed that the commission report would be presented to the Cabinet as well. (By Jayantha Samarakoon)

    Come on PMG! Face up the situation.The Commission is
    not required to send a copy of their findings to you.Every
    Public Servant is answerable to their commissions and
    ommissions in their duties. Defend yourself bavely and
    prove your innocence without trying to take shelter under
    the cover of FR violations.

    How about when our FRs were violated when postal workers pilfered our mail? Even when we complained no-one bothered.

    Dear PMG ! Be steady with the Goons and face it, dont give up. This is done to all people who served the government and country. If they put a commission to catch the fraud guys who took " Commission" from various projects then big fish also will be caught. May God Bless you.
