JHU calls for probe on Gamini Senerath's assets

The Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) yesterday (12) called the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) to hold an investigation against former President’s Chief of Staff Gamini Senarath on alleged frauds committed by him.

The JHU also urges to probe whether Gamini Senerath was paying income Tax.

JHU National Organiser Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe said the IRD Commissioner General Wasanthi Manchanayake had assured them that she would inform the JHU within a month after going through the allegations.

Mr. Warnasinghe said based on their findings it was evident that Mr. Senarath could not have accrued a large amount of wealth by legal means during a short period of time.

“We requested the Department to look into whether Mr. Senarath had earned money by legal means adhering to three, four and five sections of the Inland Revenue Act No. 10 published in 2006, to find if he had submitted reports on his income and to find out whether the taxes and fines were imposed if he had earned income illegally,” he said.
