The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today informed court that they had recorded a statement from General Sarath Fonseka regarding the granting of approval on four suspicious tenders whilst serving as the chairman of the tender board.

When the inquiry into the HiCorp case was taken up before Colombo Fort Magistrate Ms. Lanka Jayaratne today, the CID informed that they recorded a statement from General Fonseka last Sunday, but stated that he was unaware about the owners of British Borneo Defense Company and HiCorp Ltd Company.

General Fonseka had further informed CID that he had followed the relevant procedure into four concerned tenders following the approval of Technical Evaluation Board.

Question why would a guy who had his daughters in USA had to keep the money with Daughter's Mother in Law. Either you are just blinded with conviction rather than patient to hear the full story.

These are 'trumped-up' charges ... no real evidence against the newspaper editor ... no real evidence against the 14 ex-servicemen ... that's why the courts released them ...

If the tender is been in question, its the problem of the MoD.
All tenders pertaining to defence hardware are to be approved by the Sec Defence or a person nominated by him.

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 11:12 AM

75M on Danuna's mother's account with no logical explanation, but still there are idiots who support SF. These are proven facts about SF and what we hear about MR are all unproven rumours.

It seems that there has never been any reason other than this for the CID to question and record statements with regard to tender procedures in this country before!

1 16

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:33 AM

Is this statement authentic and by SF or has the CID cooked it up? Who know! let truth prevail.

3 14

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:32 AM

Very simple. He is still with the Govt. Otherwise he would have been jailed for some reason.

2 18

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:25 AM

Anyone has 75 million. He may have sold a 20 perch land in somewhere in Colombo. It could have been election money collected for use in the General Elections. Dont come to wrong conclusions.

Hope the Sri Lankan President got the balls to stand up be counted and find one single tender, irrespective of the department or the ministry, where clean procedures are followed during his watch.

1 16

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:14 AM

The present CID staff would not be enough to investigate the crime committed by the ministers, their thugs and sons, daughters and son in laws. Keep it up your good work and ask for more staff.

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:07 AM

Why isn't the Chairman of Lanka Logistics who awarded the tender questioned ?

32 175

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:06 AM

Yes certainly. That is why he does not have any money with him or his wife. And his son in law's mother also not much, only 75 million in a safety locker.

82 119

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:04 AM

So Technical Evaluation Board would be questioned and arrested next????.

28 147

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 09:02 AM

His son in law's involvement is suspicious. If MR SF is innocent and he does not know anything about his son in law's work?

176 46

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 08:56 AM

Keep it up SF. God's help will always be with you & your family.

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 10:00 AM

Is it such a criminal act to arrest and harass the most famous war hero like this? Whole world will laugh at us to see our childish activities

2 16

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 10:00 AM

Who approved this tender? MR (Defence Minister) or Gota (defence Sec)?

2 14

Wednesday, 17 February 2010 10:00 AM

Let the CID also check on the money and assets in Sri Lanka and overseas of all politicians and their extended families.

What we want is transparency and honesty.
