Central Bank Governor Kabral refuse to accept complaints against CIFL Finance and Asset Company !
He made this statement in response to a question posed by us as to why legal action has not been instituted against CIFL Finance and Asset Company and its owner Deepthi Perera as he has failed to pay interest for the monies collected from 3,761 depositors since 2006.
The official said that even Finance Ministry Secretary Dr. P.B. Jayasundera has not shown
any interest to take action against Deepthi Perera, as he is a close friend of the Central bank Governor Cabraal and also claims to have a close friendship with Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
A JVP parliamentarian when questioned about this situation said that a question will be posed to the government at the next parliamentary session.
Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal was a UNP'er who contested several elections in past but was't successful. later joined hands with Mahinda Rajapakse in 2005 Presidentail election and this post was offered to him as a gift.

Defence Ministry takes over administration of state institutions - Says Attorney J.C. Weliamuna
As all state institutions are either directly or indirectly supervised by the Defence Ministry, So neither the electoral system, the opposition nor the judiciary are in a position challenge it says Attorney J.C. Weliamuna.
Attorney said the situation has got worse as the failure to implement the electoral system that was proposed in the 18th Amendment.
Although it was proposed in the 18th Amendment to amend the entire electoral system along with the local government elections, there were doubts over its effectiveness since the political motives behind its implementation were not beneficial to the people, Weliamuna said.
He further said the administration in office at the time of election gets the power to use the facilities of state resources during election time and to challenge the electoral system through it.
Therefore, the holding of a free and fair election was not possible at all.
According to Weliamuna when the public service and the three armed forces are politicized, a party could use them even to fulfill their petty political needs.

Do not Buy Refurbished or used Laptops Sold with less than 1 year warranty in Sri Lanka
Normally the cost of these used laptops range from Rs. 10,000 upto Rs. 60,000. Their is a place in Dehiwala called Lankalaptopshouse, which gives only 30day warannty which means after that time you will face severe problems. It's not the only place but their are so many palces that sell laptops with poor quality. So please avoid those places.
Problems you will face ;
1. Display goes off after a month or two suddenly as inverter gets burnt (this is very costly if this has to be replaced)
2. Battery cannot hold power
3. Certain keys in the keyboard are not functioning (Sometimes you will notice this only after 30 days warranty is over )
4. Hard Disk Issues when data is copying
5. CD / DVD ROM/RW sometimes reading but most of the time not
6. Power adapter is unable to provide adequate power to the ystem to function smoothly
7. Not working after restarting / shutdown ( then restart ) most of the time, need to keep it off for 4-5 hours to work again.
8 Difficult to find assoceries for the laptop as most of these laptops are rare on the market (as their had being issues with these types of laptops)
and many more issues...
Also if you contact / Visit them for technical support, it will be the worst technical support that you will get. Also you will notice how rudly they will speak to you if you go with a fault (which they should repair) during/ after the warranty period (though they would talk to you very nicely in a friendly way when you are their to buy a product !)
Finally the research group, if you really want a laptop... Go for a branded brandnew laptop (If it's too costly, you can go for instalment wise payment) with at least 3 years warannty or go for a factory refurbished (refurbished by the manufatured company & certified by them) laptop with 1-3 years warannty
