Former Governor: Officials Lie About $2.5 Million Hacker Incident

As Lankadeepa, we bring to light the serious allegations made by former Governor Keerthi Tennakoon regarding a significant financial breach. His assertion that no government official or politician has taken responsibility for the $2.5 million hacker incident is deeply concerning and reflects a worrying lack of accountability within Sri Lanka's financial institutions.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ මුදල් ඩොලර් මිලියන 2.5ක මුදලක් හැකර්වරුන් අතට පත්වීමේ සිද්ධිය සම්බන්ධයෙන් ආණ්ඩුවේ කිසිම දේශපාලනඥයෙක් හෝ නිලධාරියෙක් මේ වනතෙක් වගකීමක් ඇතිව කටයුතු කරන්නේ නැතැයි

Tennakoon’s strong statement that the Finance Ministry Secretary’s explanations are "outright lies" underscores the public's distrust and the need for transparency. The fact that he implicates the Ministry of Finance, the Treasury, and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka points to a systemic failure. These are the very institutions entrusted with safeguarding our nation's financial integrity, and their alleged negligence in this matter cannot be overlooked.

අදාල සිද්ධිය සම්බන්ධයෙන් මුදල් අමාත්‍යාංශ ලේකම්වරයා කට ඇරපු මොහොතේ සිට කරුණු වශයෙන් පැවසූ අති බහුතරයක් පට්ටපල් බොරු බවද

From our perspective in Sri Lanka, this incident is not just about a monetary loss; it's about the erosion of public confidence. The Treasury and the Central Bank must be held accountable and provide clear explanations to Parliament and the people. We echo Tennakoon's call for transparency and demand that those responsible for this 'Treasury heist' be identified and that measures are taken to prevent future occurrences. The public deserves to know the truth and see justice served.

මුදල් අමාත්‍යාංශයට,භාණ්ඩාගාරයට සහ ශ්‍රී ලංකා මහ බැංකුවට මේ සිද්ධියේදී වැරදියි තිබෙන බවයි.
