Sicille Kotelawala Arrested At BIA
Sicille Kotelawala, who is the wife of Lalith Kotelawala, has been in Sri Lanka’s wanted list in connection to the financial scam amounting to billions of rupees at the Golden Key company.
Soon after her arrest, she was handed over to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
She fled the country in 2008 and was reportedly living in the United Kingdom.

May be YR who is already in welikada jail could show her the ropes in handling the stint in jail.
anyway, Ciclle will only suffer in comfort in an air conditioned hospital with a perpetual fictitious sickness that only she knows about.

Crashing fall from grace
Once Mahinda Rajapaksa lost the presidency a year ago, his successor set about unravelling the network of power the Rajapaksas had built.
In the latest examples, this week the former president's wife was questioned over corruption allegations, and one of their sons was arrested over suspected money-laundering, as the BBC's Charles Haviland reports.
Hours after the arrest of his son, Yoshitha, a photographer caught the ex-president with eyes full of tears, attacking the money-laundering charges as acts of revenge against him and his family.
The picture showed how starkly the fortunes of this once invincible clan have tumbled since Mr Rajapaksa senior was ousted from office early last year.
He, his two once-powerful brothers - one of whom controlled defence and the other the economy - and his wife and two of his sons have now all been either detained or questioned on a long list of charges including weapons offences, all of which they deny.
Many in the Sinhalese majority revered Mr Rajapaksa for crushing the 30-year Tamil separatist insurgency, notwithstanding the massive civilian casualties that caused such outrage among human rights advocates.

Over 1,500 proposals have been submitted to the Public Representation Committee
This was the total number submitted as far as written submissions via mail, email, fax, social media, personally handed over to the Secretariat and at the public sittings in the four districts in 12 days.
“There was a lack of youth representation at all the sittings. The Committee would like to see an increased participation of youth,” he said, adding that the only significant youth participation was in Matale,where a group of schoolchildren made their submissions.
The PRCCR hopes to hold extra sessions for youth to submit proposals next month, as the public sittings will be completed by the end of this month.
“Since the Committee has not scheduled for next month, we should allocate more time for youth. Other citizens who missed the opportunity during the scheduled public sittings could also hand over their proposals during this time,” he said.
Apart from the public proposals, the PRCCR sought proposals from religious leaders and reputed scholars.
The next hearing scheduled for two days, starting tomorrow (

I agree with this. I endorse the statement made by an analyst a while ago saying " SF is a military genius but a Political dumbo" . His political acumen proved wrong once again in last August election by deciding to contest alone in the last minute, where he exposed and humiliated badly.
Now this is a smart political move by RW, as the MR/GR gang just started their political propaganda as so called saviors of war heroes. SFs arrival imposes a real threat for them and dent their slogans considerably.
I found DBSJ also sharing some similar views;

Rajapaksa Army Man Weragama Appointed GM Airport & Ground Services
CEO Suren Ratwatte gathered all senior managers of the airline earlier today in Katunayake to make this official announcement. ” I have selected the best candidate from those that had applied for the post” CEO Ratwatte said. Other experienced airline professionals who were overlooked were Ajith Fernando, Yohan Pathirane, Janaka Munasinghe and Shiran Perera.
Weragama waltzed into the airline directly from the Sri Lanka Army during the Rajapaksa regime’s reign and went on to be appointed the Head of In Flight Services, with no prior airline experience.

Your Excellency,
Greetings and best wishes.
I trust you must be busy consolidating the existing bonds between our nations, for which I am indeed thankful.
I wish to bring to your immediate attention, an add for employment in your Official website- for the post of Defense Support Officer.
Your Office has clearly stated that a candidate must be fluent in reading and writing in Sinhala language.
This then can only be interpreted as a definition of racism and discrimination
In doing so you deprive this post from a Tamil speaking Sri Lankan
As this job deals with the Tri -services ( Army, Navy and Air Force) is your HC trying to then imply that the Staff officers working in the forces of my Country dont have sufficient language skills in English ??
Britain has cheered and applauded us for singing the National Anthem a few days ago in Sinhala and Tamil, and now you respond in this manner.
One must indeed practice what they preach.
with deep respect

The funny thing is while he was training all of his career in UK and other countries, they are screaming against "පර සුද්දා ". At least he should have trained in China or Libya.
