A political conspiracy is underway against the reinstatement of former police media spokesman, SSP Prishantha Jayakody, who returned home last week from Australia, where he had sought asylum in the face of death threats from the former defence secretary, say police sources.
This conspiracy has been launched through a former journalist of Sirasa and now a provincial councilor of Sarath Fonseka’s Democratic Party, Susil Kindelpitiya, who lodged a complaint to the IGP yesterday (02) against Jayakody.
The complainant claims Jayakody, as the police media spokesman had given undue publicity to his being arrested illegally along with a pistol, thereby tarnishing his image and political life. Welcoming the complaint, the IGP has informed the police department’s administration and human resources division to delay Jayakody’s reinstatement until the investigation into the complaint is concluded. Therefore, the reinstatement of Jayakody, who returned home at the invitation of the president, is likely to be delayed. That itself has been quite relieving for the corrupt, who were to be investigated by him.
A senior policeman who gave us the information, asked as to how many inquiries should take place against incumbent police spokesman Ajith Rohana, if an inquiry is to be held against Jayakody. Ajith Rohana is not the police spokesman, but the government spokesman, said the senior policeman, adding that corrupt top officers in the department were strongly opposing Jayakody’s reinstatement. The end result of this inquiry would most likely be his having to seek political asylum in Australia once again, he added.
