The Deputy Governor giving evidence before the Commission investigating the Bond issue said it was not the CB Monetary Board that decided to issue 30 year Bonds, but it was Arjun Mahendran who made the decision.

The Deputy Governor, P. Samarasiri also said that the former Governor Arjun Mahendran ordered to increase the limit of tenders to Rs. 10 billion at the auction held for the issue of 30 year Bonds.

The moment Mr. Samarasiri came to know of this position he had lost his temper. When questioned by Justice Prasanna Jayewardene, as to what made him lose his temper, Samarasiri had replied that this decision had been made known only to the two other deputies ignoring him.( Manopriya Gunasekera and Ranjan Katugampola)

If I were him I would have preferred committing suicide than sitting in a prison cell for 15 years.

It all points to "GO TO JAIL". However there are a lot of "GET OUT OF JAIL" free cards in the Sri Lanka political game and finally nothing will happen. Waiting to cast my vote against these thieves at the next election and send them home for good.

He "lost his temper for not being informed" and then went ahead and carried out an irregular order without question. What a pathetic level.

It is easy for one to say that the Deputy Governor should have resigned without carrying on the illegal orders. After all Mahendran is the all powerful Governor of the Central Bank and his deputies are meant to carry out his orders.The. Deputy Governors post in the bank is his bread and butter.
