Claiming that the group led by Parliamentarian Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pilleyan has been paid Rs.3.5 million per month by the intelligence services, NPP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake questioned whether the group is still being paid that amount.
He told parliament that Pilleyan’s group has been maintained and paid from the account of the Intelligence Services.
The MP said this during a cross-talk with Pilleyan after Dissanayake alleged that most of those who were accused of their failure to prevent the Easter attacks and those who were accused of committing the crime such as Pilleyan are with the government now.
“You and your group were paid and maintained by the intelligence units Rs. 3.5 million per month. We want to know whether you are still being paid,” MP Dissanayake questioned Pilleyan.
Speaking during the adjournment debate on the exposure by Channel 4 on the Easter Sunday attacks, Dissanayake said reasonable investigation into the Easter attacks cannot be expected as those who were accused of their failure to prevent the attacks and those who were accused of committing the crime such as Pilleyan are with the government now.
“The faction that failed to prevent the attacks such as then President Maithripala Sirisena, then Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, heads of intelligence units such as SIS are with the government. Those who are accused of committing the crime such as Pilleyan and Gotabaya Rajapaksa also represent the government. So, how can we expect a reasonable investigation,” he asked.(Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

Most of these MPs have property overseas, children studying abroad and what not. Wonder who funds those expenses?

This is reason behind the biggest budget of this country allocated to MOD. Much of it is on useless activities such as this and perhaps even worse types of corruption. This kind of payments are camouflaged and never questioned under the guise of "security" and "highly confidential". Even if a Security Official goes on a holiday to USA with his family and spends 5m, it will not be questioned or investigated. We are just being like Pakistan.
