Anura Kumara says that the bond scam has a vast network of culprits

Colombo (News 1st). The JVP held a press briefing at its party headquarters today (Feb 28). The leader of the JVP Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that it was Ranil Wickremesinghe who appointed Arjuna Mahendran as governor of the central bank. Wickremesinghe also intervened to protect Mahendran and send him out of the country. Aloysius on being released from remand custody was seen at the wedding of Mahinda Rajapaksa's son. It is obvious that there are many connections in the bond scam. This is the reason why the opposition is not making a big issue of the bond scam. They are many shareholders in this fraud. Who gave Perpetual Treasuries the licence to operate? With whom did Arjun Aloysius trade in the share market? The bond commission report has all this information and more. Many parties are involved in this scam. This is the reason why the report is not presented in parliament. The report is compiled using public funds and the people have the right to know the facts. Many requests have been made under the right to information act. Yet it is not being released. When Dayasiri Jayasekera was named as a recipient of funds from Perpetual Treasuries he said that there were 118 MPs who had benefited from funds from Perpetual Treasuries. Journalists used to persistently ask MPs if they were recipient of funds from Perpetual Treasuries. Now even that questioning has come to an end. This is because the web of those involved is widespread.
