He will not be surprised if the government decides to pardon Kumaran Pathmanadan alias KP for the assistance he has rendered to unravel the financial ramifications of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella during Adaderana’s 360 programme this evening.
In reply to a question by the 360 programme hostess Dilka Samanmali, Minister Rambukwella said that the information revealed by KP has enabled the authorities to identify most of the foreign assets of the Tiger outfit. Asked about the value of the assets identified or brought in to the country, Mr. Rambukwella said he was not in a position to reveal it. However, a comprehensive report will be made public in due course, he assured.
Asked whether Kumaran Pathmanadan would be offered any special post, he said it was up to the highest authorities to decide.
When the 360 hostess stated that some urge that KP should also receive punishment for the things he had done against the country, Mr. Rambukwella said the punishment KP was undergoing right now, fighting against his own conscience was more than enough.
