Controversial former Treasury Secretary P.B. Jayasundera, contrary to reports that he had gone abroad soon after Sri Lanka’s presidential election, is very much ‘alive and kicking’ in Sri Lanka.
On Tuesday, he had lunch with Colombo University economist Lalithasiri Gunaruwan and Dr. S. Jayaweera, former Director-General Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority at the Hotel School restaurant in the premises of the Sri Lankan Tourism office complex.
“It was a meeting of colleagues. There was no politics involved. I invited Dr. Jayasundera, whom I have opposed on policy issues in the past, and Dr. Jayaweera for lunch as former colleagues,” Dr. Gunaruwan told the Sunday Times, when asked. Reports of this meeting first appeared in some news websites on Tuesday itself. It was however unclear as to whether Dr. Jayasundera has gone abroad and returned or whether he has been in Sri Lanka all the time.
Meanwhile it is reliably learnt that Dr. Gunaruwan is tipped to be appointed as the Transport Ministry Secretary. – ENDS -
