Complain to BC: Avant Garde Chief tells Rajitha

15 May 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Avant Garde Chairman Nissanka Senadhipathi said today Minister Rajitha Senaratne should complain to the Bribery Commission according to the proper procedure without making allegations to the media.

He denied having offered any bribes to the minister and said if it was so the minister would not have hesitated to complain to the appropriate authorities.

“Dr. Senaratne is a public servant and a cabinet minister but he is lying without any shame. I am asking him to go to the Bribery Commission without making baseless allegations against me in public. Otherwise I will send him a letter of demand. Isn’t there a law in this country? I will meet him at the Bribery Commission if he goes there,” Mr. Senadhipathi said.

He said the Health Minister had had a record of making erroneous statements to the media in the recent past and this instance was no different.

“You saw how he got so many things wrong and how much trouble he got into after making false comments about the Nigerian government. This is no different to that,” Mr. Snadhipathi said.

He was responding to an allegation made by the minister that a respondent cited in the controversial Avant Garde case had offered him a bribe of Rs.40 million to remain silent on this matter for just two weeks and that another person had offered him a bribe of Rs.300 million. (JG)
