Government incompetence and the Rajapaksa crime cycle


2025-01-27 1586

The Rajapaksa family is going through a bad time again. Although the previous government tried to implement the law against the allegations against the Rajapaksa family, those measures did not work properly for various reasons. The various measures taken by the government were completely destroyed with the return of Gotabaya to power in 2019. Many of the cases filed against the Rajapaksa family were withdrawn by the Attorney General's Department, the Bribery Commission, or the Corruption Eradication Commission.

Due to technical errors in some cases, the cases could not be continued. At that time, people said that the cases and the monk's belongings belonged to the monk. Now, however, the Rajapaksa family's cycle of corruption and crime has started to spin again. The pressure on the Rajapaksa family this time is greater than usual. There are several reasons for that. One is the promise made by the compass that they would catch thieves. Now they have to do it. Next, the government is still struggling, unable to fulfill even one of the promises made by the compass.

The JVP and the compass have all become lies, and everyone in the government from Anura down has become liars. The incompetence of the JVP-Malima government is now starting to be fully exposed. The only weapon they have left to cover up this incompetence is the weapon of catching thieves. At this time, the Anura-led government is thinking that if they use that weapon, they can temporarily suppress the problems. They are trying to escape by sending Anura's incompetence outside the criminal circle of the Rajapaksa family.

Now the investigation has been accelerated by the Criminal Investigation Department. Information is circulating in the country that several powerful figures are being arrested very soon. Among them are several members of the Rajapaksa family and friends. There are several factors that have influenced the investigation to be accelerated by the Criminal Investigation Department. The main reason is that there is a team in the Criminal Investigation Department and the Ministry of Public Security that is taking the matter seriously.

Former Deputy Inspector General of Police Ravi Seneviratne is the Secretary of the Ministry of Public Security. Former Superintendent of Police Shani Abeysekara is the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department. Ananda Wijepala, the Secretary to Anura Dissanayake, who was the Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Committee of the Good Governance Government, is today the Minister in charge of the Police. Shani and Ravi are two officers who have been the target of the wrath and revenge of the Rajapaksa family.

The Police Minister represents Anura's political interests. That is, the political game of covering up the country's problems by trapping the Rajapaksa family. Developing a slogan to take to the people for the upcoming local government elections is also a priority here. Since all these factors coincide with each other, trapping the Rajapaksa family is happening more rapidly and in a planned manner.

The country's people continued to stand by their stance that the law should be implemented against all those who have looted public property and are facing criminal charges in this country. It is not for the Rajapaksas, Ranil, Maithri, Anura, or Wimal. It should be done properly. But waiting for justice to be done by this government for Wasantha Samarasinghe's tax fraud issue is foolish. Since the issues are in the courts, we can expect justice. The country's people will not be shy enough to demand justice from Anura's government for the crimes committed against the country's people by the JVP.

The country's people did not shut down their shops for a long time and whine like Wimal. They did not follow the Lal Kanthals. And they will never whine. We have the pride we have from Wijeweera, not the political shamelessness of Anura and Vimalla. In any case, the country's Rala is not sad or sorry for the implementation of the law in this way. But it should be fair. It cannot be another political revenge. Justice should be achieved through the law. At first glance, it is clear that there is a motive for revenge.

This is confirmed by the statements made by Anura, especially regarding Mahinda being thrown out of the house and Mahinda's security. It is still a question of whose recommendations Mahinda's security was reduced? According to Anura, it seems that it was Anura who did it. The former people reduced it and gave sixty and threatened to remove 60 if they complained, it is clear that it was Anura's will. That is the crazy man inside Anura, the country's Rala. Without that, Anura has no power to do so.

At least Anura has a little forgiveness for talking like that even after amending the Presidential Rights Act. What came out was the hatred that was bubbling inside Anura. The VFM that Mahinda gave to the JVP could not appease that hatred. Deputy Minister of Defense Major General Aruna Jayasekara had said that he had said the night before that Yoshitha Rajapaksa would be arrested on the 25th, but had not released it until today.

It seems that there is something to be said for Aruna. That must be why he took Saturday as the court holiday. Normally, if he had a brain, Aruna Jayasekara would not have said that story even if he did. It was a story where Aruna Jayasekara showed his military qualities. At several points in that story, the animal had jumped out. In Aruna Jayasekara's own words, he says, "We are scared. We must move forward now. Don't give up. We took this power by sending all those who have been doing harm to the country. Will we give it back?

Let's say we couldn't do this in six months. But will we? This will not be given back, son. This is what we are going to do. We have to work ten or fifteen times as hard as we worked to get power to maintain it. Be determined, we cannot give up this." Aruna Jayasekara says that. All we have to tell Aruna Jayasekara is that if the people rise up, the game will not work, son, there is no other option but to go.
