Colombo, May 5 (Daily Mirror) - Former Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Mahesh Gammanpila, who was released on bail today over allegations of causing a loss of over Rs. 13 million to the government by importing a shipment of organic fertilizer contaminated with harmful bacteria and pathogens, has been taken back into remand custody after failing to fulfill the conditions of his bail.

Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali ordered the release of the suspect on bail today.

However, due to his inability to meet the full bail conditions, he will remain in remand custody.

A great lesson for those corrupted officials who get in the act with politicians. You'll be ever ready to help them but they're never there when the consequences come your way.

He can't even pay the bail money. These are the type of so called 'thieves' , the No Plan Pacha Party is after. If the guy is corrupt then he should be having a lot of money. Why not go after Mahindanada Aluthgamage?

He's hidden the loot away. After prison, you'd see the life he'll lead. This is just thieves pretending to be broke.

Nevertheless, A very GOOD Lesson for "PANDANKARAYA" POLITICALLY DEVOUT", Public servants!? Especially, in both the SL Government Clerical (SLGCS) and SL Administrative Service (SLAS - successor to CCS Ceylon Civil Service at Independence) Hope the present day SLAS and SLGCS take this as a Lesson and keep in mind, when acting on Politician's behest and not following 'DUE PROCESS' (AR's and FR's without any EXCEPTION) and the 'LAW OF THE LAND'!? None being above the Law!!?? All are EQUAL except HE the President during his tenure of exalted 'OFFICE of President'!?

These are spineless public officials who bow down to whatever their boss says. This faggot may not even have got anything out of it. Just watch, Mahindananda and many others are in the que. Soon they will be facing similar consequences.

Can not agree more with you. When push comes to shove bigger crooks let couple of smaller ones loose to deviate the attention from the actual culprits, masterminds behind the crime.

It must be tough for this public servant. A good lesson for all. Do not blindly listen to the politicians.
