Posted by Editor on February 14, 2013 - 11:32 am
Housing Minister Wimal Weerawansa yesterday hit out at Treasury Secretary Dr. P. B. Jayasundara calling him an ‘economic hit-man.’
At a function organised by his Ministry at the Youth Centre in Maharagama Minister Weerawansa called for the resignation of the Treasury Secretary.
He questioned whether President Mahinda Rajapaksa had liberated the country from the clutches of terrorists to allow an economic hit-man to destroy the economy. “Imagine what would have happened if the Treasury Secretary was the Secretary to the Defense Ministry,” he said.
The Minister said, Dr. Jayasundara should follow Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa who is considered the best public servant in Sri Lanka today.

Mr Jayasundera’s career as Treasury Secretary appears to have reached its “use by” date; it is hence destined to the dustbin.
Mr.Weerawans,
Not only treasury , but entire public service is corrupted and the biggest obstacle in developing the country , particularly Sri Lanka Administrative Service created by British crown initially to collect taxes which later renamed as SLAS. Historical Matale rebellion in 1848 was initiated by Weera Puran Appu and others as a result of high taxes charged.
