Sources from the Army said Defence Secretary GOtabhaya Rajapaksa has ordered one Major Siriwardena to “take care of” JVP parliamentary group leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake and SLFP (M) Wing Leader Mangala Samaraweera within one week. The Defence Secretary it is learnt has promised the Major a position in a Sri Lankan mission overseas if he successfully completes the task.
Sources also said the Defence Secretary has issued such a deadly directive in order to block efforts taken by Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Mangala Samaraweera to bring General Sarath Fonseka in to politics. Major Siriwardena meanwhile is reportedly responsible for several mysterious assassinations that had taken place around
Colombo in recent times.
Major Siriwardena heads one of the paramilitary groups under Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and has currently sold his luxury residence on a seven acre land in Malabe at Rs. 2,000 lakhs and is preparing to leave the country to take over the position of Defence Advisor at a Sri Lankan mission in Europe.

Namal Rajapaksa’s monopoly in transport service places contractors of Uthuru Vasanthaya in difficulty
The transportation of goods on the A9 route to the north is monopolized by the President’s son Namal Rajapaksa and several close friends of the Rajapaksa family even after the government claimed the route was open for transporting goods.
The Defence Ministry it is learnt has issued licenses to 300 Lorries to transport goods through the A9 to the north and a lorry charges a sum of Rs. 124,000 for each trip to the north.
Contractors involved in the Uthuru Vasanthaya programme have been placed in great difficulty due to this move. Several attempts by these
contractors to meet with Senior Presidential Advisor Basil Rajapaksa have failed.
Basil had reportedly promised to enable these contractors easy road access to the north for them to transport goods for their respective projects when they were handed over the projects in the north.
