Ravi-Karunanayake

July 24, 2015 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake on Friday accused Attorney General over an incident occurred when dealing with the Golden Key Depositor’s issue. “Everyone thinks Attorney General is on our government side.

But what we see here is an act against our government. Even yesterday night there was going to be a problem,” “Cabinet decided to pay Golden Key Depositors over one month back. But our solicitors go to the Supreme Court and say something else that we don’t want to say,” “I don’t know who they want to satisfy. No one can override a cabinet decision.

So I’m asking the President to look into this.” Karunanayake stressed. The cabinet of ministers, earlier approved a payment schedule proposed by the Finance Minister,Ravi Karunanayake in order to solve the long standing issues faced by the golden key depositors.

A strange story, but probably true. I harbour the same reservations as most Sri Lankans about Ravi K.’s doings re. the Arjuna Mahendran saga, but this the injustice to Golden Key depositors cries out to the heavens and nothing happens.

When the AVERAGE Sri Lankan hears of what may be labelled as “politics” he thinks it best to just clam up. By now the country has overwhelmingly got convinced that the MaRas were up to no good for at least the last six or seven years of their rule. Obviously, they have their cronies who have much to lose if the current trend continues, and they make enough noise, to convince the world that there is another side to most of these stories, but they will have enough stooges in key positions to sabotage . . . .

Twenty-three days, and then all this should get cleared up when the election results start coming in! The MaRas will get a few in to parliament all right, but it’s going to be a merciless slide against them!

A Finance Minister with a bloated head ? The Attorney General serves the people of Sri Lanka, and NOT the government of the day. Any ILLEGAL cabinet decision can be challenged in a Court of Law.
Is Karunanayake behaving like the very people he accused of such behaviour ?

The FM says “The General Treasury will provide 544.3 million rupees needed for this first tranche and the recovery of this fund will be made through the liquidation of the assets of the Golden Key Company with the permission of the Supreme Court where a petition in this regard is being heard”. First get the funds by liquidating GK assets without borrowing from the treasury. This is public funds. The supreme court ruling on the petition ruling is still unknown. This is an election gundu. I cannot understand how the President can grace the occasion when the CB governor whom he wants sacked and also the PM who was tasked to do this and who hasn’t done so were present.

AG must be on the rule of law side, not your side Ravi. Is your “Yahapalanaya” expects AG to take sides?

First and formost GK having misconducts and fininal corrupation problems that directly effect
the govt. tresure funds that has nothing do with GOLDEN KEY REPAYMENT BY CABNIET DECISION . GOVT. MONEY BELONGS TO POOR TAX PAYERS THAT CANNOT MISUSED BY GK DEFAULT payments .

Now Ravi Karuanayake of Minister has decided pay for GK during elecation period is totally wrong ,we have wait next Parliment to be approved payment but not that Tresure funds , but other mens .
Payment must STOP AT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
THIS IS ANOTHER POLITICAL CORRUPATION AND VIOLATION OF FR BY UNP -RANIL-RAVI ‘GOOD GOVERANCE.’
