Jayakody is under FCID scrutiny over having used his profession to launder the black money of the Rajapaksas.

He has said that Basil had spent for the construction of the house.

Basil’s wife had laid the foundation for the house, while his daughter had done its interior decorations, Jayakody has said further.

He has designed free of charge Basil’s house at Malwana, Browns Hill palace in Matara and the party office in Gampaha owned by the D.A. Rajapaksa Foundation.

For all that, the Rajapaksas gave many government construction projects to him without calling for tenders.

When the FCID questioned him about his professional experience, Jayakody said arrogantly that even the building in which the FCID is housed was designed by him.

When pointed out that the building was nearly 100 years old, he said he had carried out the refurbishments.

When asked if he got it by tender, he gave another arrogant answer, that in 1978, J.R. Jayewardene entrusted the designing of the parliamentary complex to Geoffrey Bawa without calling for tenders.

In the same manner, he received the contract from Gotabhaya, Jayakody said.

Later, when the FCID questioned ex-Central Bank governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal, the matter was raised and he said he was asked by Gotabhya to give the contract to Jayakody’s firm without calling for tenders.

In addition, without calling for tenders, Gotabhaya had given to Jayakody the construction of the Army headquarters at Pelawatte, Battaramulla and the military college at Slave Island.

He had received both these projects as underhand deals by telling lies to the Army, that he had 20 architects and 30 engineers working full-time under him.

After the new government took office, a cabinet subcommittee conducted investigations and based upon its findings, cancelled the contract.

However, the defence ministry is yet to make the entire contract invalid.

The JVP is going to ask in parliament to annul the agreement in question between the Army and Muditha Jayakody Associates.
