Dudley’s hotel leaves president in jealousy!
Created on Friday, 03 January 2014 12:37
President Mahinda Rajapaksa last week went to Nuwara Eliya to open ‘Araliya Green Hill Hotel’, owned by Dudley Sirisena, the brother of SLFP general secretary Maithripala Sirisena. Seeing the glamour of Dudley’s luxury star hotel, located near Grand Hotel, the president’s face darkened and he has told those close to him, “Younger brother has not wasted what the elder swindles from multi national companies.”
Later, upon inquiring from the Sirisena brothers, the president has got to know that the hotel’s first owner was Weerabahu, who had owned Hingurana Sugar factory. Following his death in England, Vanik Incorporation had bought the hotel and as it had become bankrupt, a Maldivian businessman by the name Malik had come to own it. Dudley had bought it from him for eight million USD and spent a further four million USD to modernize it. In the end, a smiling president has said, “Now, there are USD millionaires in Polonnaruwa too.”
Soon after returning to Colombo, the president had spoken to a top official in the state intelligence service and ordered him to submit an immediate report regarding everything about Dudley’s hotel in Nuwara Eliya, and based on that report, to lodge a complaint to the Bribery Commission in order to tame the Sirisena brothers.
