FEBRUARY, 2020 (மாvWமிA எ{.ஏ. Fமxதிரy) (The Hon. M.A. Sumanthiran) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for permitting me to raise this issue today. I refer to an article published on page 13 of “Sunday Island” of 16 th , February, 2020 by one C.A. - Chandraprema, titled “Politics of the High Posts Committee of Parliament". Sir, I table* a copy of that newspaper article. Mr. Chandraprema is a nominee for the post of Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the United Nations in Geneva. This article, in its entirety, violates (மாvWமிA சபாநாயக} அவ}க) the Privilege not only of myself as a Member of Parliament, but also of the Committee on High Posts and The Hon. Speaker) of the whole Parliament itself. While it is wholly improper for him to have written this article while he was awaiting clearance by the Committee on High Posts, the irony is that he speaks of a conflict of interest. I do not know this Chandraprema மாvWமிA (கலாநிதி) பxPல Aணவ}தன) personally and I have only heard of him in relation to his The Hon. (Dr.) Bandula Gunawardane) writings. He claims that some people have made allegations that he was part of a death squad that carried out extrajudicial killings. Having put the cap on, so to say, he does not even deny these allegations in his article, but merely says that one must ask the former Prime Minister whether he was ordered to carry out these killings, which include three lawyers. - - I state that this article breaches the Privilege of this House and urge you, Mr. Speaker, to take appropriate action against the said Chandraprema and the said newspaper. I also wish to draw the attention of the Hon. Minister of Foreign Relations, who is present in the House at the moment, with regard to this nomination of Mr. C.A. Chandraprema of all places to Geneva. Thank you.

[ Sir, due to the limited time allotted to me, then I will [அpகிராசனp கuடைளzபJ அக~றzபuLளP] touch on Report No. 3, which sets out in detail how the [Expunged on the order of the Chair.] mafia family and friends pillaged the Employees’ Provident Fund. The English language, perhaps, does not have a suitable world for this. The word “pillage”, I think, choice is not enough to describe this grave crime. Perhaps, I should use the word “plunder”, plundering of workers’ - funds. Or even better, if I have the way, I will name this final Report by the KPMG, India on the EPF robbery as [ the “Rape of the Employees’ Provident Fund”. The [அpகிராசனp கuடைளzபJ அக~றzபuLளP] Employees’ Provident Fund had been raped [Expunged on the order of the Chair.] systematically over the five years and it had been done
by, as I said, a network of family and friends of the then (மாvWமிA வாFேதவ நாணாயpகார) Government. In fact, in this Report, there is a family tree. This is not some political concoction. (The Hon. Vasudeva Nanayakkara) This has been done by the company. There, you have Mr. Ajith Nivard Cabraal, Governor from 2006 to 2015 (மாvWமிA மqகள சமரjர) and then, associated with HDFC during the same tenure (The Hon. Mangala Samaraweera) when some of these dealings took place were, S. Wickramasinghe, sister; Ravindra Balakantha Thambaiya, - - brother in law; Nihal Fonseka, cousin; Amal Cabraal, cousin and Shibani Renuka Thambiayah, niece. Those are just a few names of the family tree which started growing inside the Central Bank in order to spirit away the funds which were there for the working people of this country. bond scam Sir, I quote from Report 3:
"EPF is the Sri Lanka’s largest fund with assets worth approximately Rs. 2.29 trillion as of 2018 and monthly contribution - was Rs. 12 billion with over 18.2 million contributors from over
86,200 employers." 637 638
Investments were in major companies - nearly all of them contributed to the loss incurred by the EPF.
Many of the transactions associated with higher volumes and values of those companies have taken place in 2010 and 2011. When purchases were made by EPF, share prices were high and subsequently they came down in general. " "Therefore, had been violation of rules and deficiencies in the approval process for investment in banking and financial - - institutions. Investment in five banking institutions were made on This was the pump and dump policy of the then the directive of ANC with no prior approval of IC. Government. Again, I am quoting very quickly from this Report: EPF has invested its money in many companies including 19 companies, which were scrutinized indepth in the analysis. The losses were in the form of realized loss on sales or investment or "2. Key breaches occurred in the following: impairment loss recorded in EPF books. Investigation revealed that various activities in EPF, including EPF has invested a total sum of Rs. 150.8 billion in a total of 84 investment in trading or investment portfolio were performed listed companies. without express approvals or mandate in the IPS/ITG. Key deviations that were noted are: A total of Rs. 1,1042.63 million...... " - Portfolio level breaches and breach of individual security limit That is, approximately Rs. 1.1 billion. and trading limit. - Investment transactions without IC/MB approval. ".....has been invested in 17 unlisted companies after 1998.

Irregularities in addition of companies to the ASL. - Investments made without adequate analysis. Investment in a total of 84 listed companies with a total number of transactions of 4,886 during 2006 -2017. - Unsigned deal tickets and settlement sheets. - Investment in 15 companies has generated a loss of Rs. 9,198.50 Investment in unlisted equity without express provisions in million on 909 transactions....."

" So, as I said, these five Reports actually warrant at least five days of debate in this House. This is one of the most shocking revelations the country has ever seen. That is why I say again that this Report should be named "There were over 4,800 transactions of investments above Rs. 10 the “Rape of the EPF” because it shows how the money million in over 80 listed companies during 2006 -2017, of which 193 of the poor working people of this country was were loss -making transactions.

2001." Therefore, like in all other things, let us not debate this in the House, forget about it and then allow the same EPF things to continue happening, perhaps at an even faster pace in the future. I think rather than taking sides and trying to justify one’s own side, it is time that the country, as a whole, as the Hon. Anura Dissanayake said, get together at least now to ensure that such daylight 5 robbery of public assets do not take place in the future. they have broken those limits by investing higher amounts of EPF Thank you. funds in many companies (மாvWமிA பிரதிr சபாநாயக} அவ}க) (The Hon.

Presiding Member, for two days, we have been debating the Forensic Audit Reports on issuance of Treasury Bonds by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka presented by BDO India and KPMG Sri Lanka, working in conjunction with KPMG India, which have now been tabled for debate. Sir, despite there being questions raised by many Members of Parliament on the consistency of the Reports and certain other conclusions, especially those related to computation of losses, the Reports, no doubt, do lay bare glaring deficiencies.

relation to this is, which primary dealer scooped up all (மாvWமிA றkz ஹகீ{) these Bonds from the secondary market and were those (The Hon. Rauff Hakeem) also sold to the EPF later on when rates stabilized? Madam Presiding Member, I was referring to the Madam Presiding Member, I am of the firm view that the particular Forensic Audit Reports pointing out glaring general public deserves answers to these two questions. deficiencies relating to prudence, governance, accountability and transparency when it comes to Bond Coming back to the subject of my address, what is issues in this country. glaringly evident from the Reports is the callous manner the individuals politically exposed to the Government of Madam Presiding Member, my humble request to this the day, whether it be the previous Government, the last august Assembly is to act with responsibility as Government or the present rulers, have blatantly gone Representatives of citizens instead of trading accusations about manipulating the orderly working of the Central across the aisle and let us all collectively work towards Bank by influencing the highest officers of the Central ensuring that such blatant abuses of power and positions Bank to enrich a selected group of individuals at a great are not repeated. Now, it is a matter of pot calling the cost to the general public. kettle black. That is what we have been witnessing these two days. Every officer working for or holding post in the institutions identified, namely the Central Bank, the Whilst leaving the technicalities contained in the Governor, the Monetary Board and the Employees’ Report to be debated by professionals with competence, I Provident Fund, is a fiduciary. A fiduciary is legally will limit my address to purely focus on conclusions in defined as “a relationship in trust, especially in relation to the Report solely related to the role of the Central Bank of the trustee and the beneficiaries”. In the said instant, the Sri Lanka, the Governor, the Monetary Board and lastly, institutions identified are trustees of the citizens, who are the Employees' Provident Fund, Sri Lanka's largest social the beneficiaries. The duty of a fiduciary entails the security fund which manages the general public's social highest standard of care in equity or law towards the security contributions. beneficiaries, to whom the duty is owed. The highest standard of care requires a fiduciary to act prudently with Before I proceed further with my limited address on due skill, care, diligence and judgement in relation to the the identified areas, I wish to highlight to this august affairs of the beneficiaries. Madam Presiding Member, Assembly two glaring deficiencies in the Report. That is, the persons identified in the Forensic Audit Reports two vital areas the Reports have not addressed and which related to the institutions that I have highlighted are all deserve to be addressed. The first being the role of the professionals entrusted with trust under a fiduciary State banks in the two tainted auctions related to the relationship, who owe a fiduciary duty to the general alleged Bond Scam, from the Report, it is evident that the public, purportedly with competence to administer and State banks have consistently been the biggest source of manage monies belonging to the people of this country; liquidity providers to Government Bonds. in this instant, the Central Bank’s monies and the beneficiaries of the Employees’ Provident Fund. The Reports have failed not only to identify the causes for the State banks not participating in the two tainted This House should also take due note of the fact that auctions, but also to identify support for any justification in relation to administration and management of public provided for the absence of the State banks at these monies, globally the bar set for prudence in relation to auctions. Based on views expressed by market fiduciary duties is at a very high level. Coming back to participants, non -participation of the State banks was the the conclusions in the Reports, this august Assembly biggest contributor in the execution of this outright scam should take due note that, leave alone the prudent rule, through the two tainted auctions. Market participants are even basic rules of prudence through average skill, care, strongly of the view that the State banks, if they had diligence and judgement have been alien not only to the participated, would have scooped up a big majority of the individuals identified in the Report, but also to those at Bonds offered in the two tainted issues at much lower the Central Bank, the institution entrusted with statutory yields, close to market yields, thus preventing or responsibility to maintain economic and price stability significantly reducing the loss suffered by the and financial stability as an institution that enforces rules Government through these two issues. To date, there is no of prudence in the financial sector in the country and the justifiable basis or answers to support the non - Employees’ Provident Fund, a statutory body set up to participation of the State banks. manage a social security scheme, which is managed by the Central Bank. Madam Presiding Member, the second point is the loss caused to the general public because of the sharp spike in This, Madam Presiding Member, is a very sad state of yield rates after the two tainted auctions. Several attempts affairs for the country in general and the people in have been made to compute the loss suffered by the particular. Why did the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, which Government, but no attempt has been made to date to had, which has and which will have in the future the compute the secondary market loss suffered by the cream of high standard professionals with eminence general public who were holding bonds and who were stoop to such a low level? The Central Bank of Sri Lanka forced to sell due to the artificial spike in the market stooping to such a low level is a higher economic cost to yield, which resulted in margin calls by banks on their the people of Sri Lanka than the financial loss everyone is leveraged positions. The question that needs answers in attempting to compute through allegations across the 665 666
management team with fund management experience in place, similar to how pension funds are managed aisle. Yes, the financial losses being computed is very globally. It should be strictly governed by an investment significant, but the economic cost of allowing the Central mandate and the performance should be linked to clearly Bank to continue in its current state far outweighs that defined benchmarks. Potentially, the management team cost. could be incentivized for overperforming over a hurdle rate as a benchmark, similar to how pension fund Madam Presiding Member, I would like to once again managers are incentivized globally. This will enable the ask this House the question, who is responsible for this EPF not only to be efficiently managed, but also to current state of affairs? I will have to humbly admit that provide beneficiaries a better return. In evaluating the every Hon. Member of this House including you, Madam, EPF’s performance over the last 10 years, it is evident the the Speaker, myself, and everyone across the divide, is EPF have been providing beneficiaries a return very close collectively responsible for the current state of the Central to the long -term government bond yields. These Bank. We, as Legislators, have failed in our duty to bring beneficiaries, at the time of encashing these assets, are reforms to the Central Bank in line with the liable for tax and the tax adjusted return received by these transformations taking place globally. Our age -old beneficiaries would be less than the return they would legislations are a stumbling block for the Central Bank to have got, if they themselves invested these monies in achieve the high standards that this nation expects and long -term Government Bonds, and the interest income deserves from such an august institution. related to which is not liable for tax.
From the Forensic Audit Reports, it is blatantly Madam, the question I want to pose is, what is the evident that the culprits behind the Central Bank being benefit to the beneficiary from an independent institution pushed to such a low level are the politically exposed and managing its social security assets at a large cost to the aligned persons associated with the running of the Central beneficiary, if that institution is to provide a return less Bank. Madam Presiding Member, if we do not act now, than the return the beneficiaries could have generated on future legislators will once again be wasting the time of their own? Therefore, I also want to pose the question, is this Legislature, trying to unravel another calamity, the EPF really set up for the benefit of the beneficiaries potentially of a higher magnitude, at enormous cost to the or is it a mechanism for persons with political affiliations people of this nation. The answer to this puzzle is the to benefit in the guise of providing benefits to the independence of the Central Bank; the Central Bank beneficiaries? should be made constitutionally independent and autonomous in order to ensure that it is totally devoid of Sri Lanka’s private sector is on par with their global political influence. A Central Bank cannot be run by counterparts and the big players who are listed operate politically affiliated individuals whose decisions will efficiently within a regulated environment - look at our always be biased towards their political masters and blue -chip companies - within a transparent and aligned towards agendas with vested interest. The accountable regime, whilst generating and creating value Forensic Audit Reports provide sufficient evidence to to their shareholders. This segment of the private sector support this conclusion. Therefore, we can go on has not only professional expertise, but also access to a pontificating until the kingdom come, but we will not see transparent and accountable framework devoid of the dawn unless we act now. political influence and affiliations to administer and manage an operation like the Employees' Provident Fund Madam Presiding Member, every Hon. Member of within a governance -based, transparent and accountable this august Assembly has a bounden duty to act now and framework under a competent Board of Governors. make our Central Bank a constitutionally independent institution, an institution devoid of political influence. It Therefore, Madam Presiding Member, the question I is time for all of us to put aside political differences and want to pose to all of us is, should we continue to permit for once, act in the interest of our nation and make our politically affiliated individuals to callously profit out of Central Bank an independent, autonomous institution. Sri Lanka's largest social security scheme - this pumping - and - dumping operation, how long are we to tolerate? - Coming to the subject of the Employees’ Provident and deprive the beneficiaries of a return they deserve or Fund, the EPF is entrusted with statutory responsibility to should the EPF be reformed through the legislative manage Sri Lanka’s largest social security scheme. The structure by this House to put in place mechanisms for EPF manages assets in excess of Rs. 2.2 trillion as at the EPF to be managed by a professional management December, 2018. To put it into perspective, this translates team under the aegis of a professional Board of to US Dollars 12.8 billion or close to 15 per cent of Sri Governors with a governance -based, transparent and Lanka’s GDP, Gross Domestic Product! The Central accountable framework? That is the question I would like Bank is entrusted with the responsibility of managing this to pose. Therefore, it is time that we look at in a non - humongous asset base on behalf of the general public, the partisan manner and devise methods to make the Central majority being the private sector employees. The EPF is Bank an independent, autonomous institution. another institution which owes a fiduciary duty to the general public. The time is right for EPF to be managed Though the autonomy has been guaranteed by various independently devoid of political influence by a Board of legislations, continuous political meddling has messed up Governors consisting of officials from the Treasury, the the entire scene. The confidence in our main watchdog Central Bank and the private sector with a professional when it comes to monetary policy has also been affected 667 2020 668 due to this continuous and relentless bond scams that are being allowed to perpetuate the climate for profiteering - by various unscrupulous elements. Therefore, it is time - for us to take stock of these Forensic Audit Reports and take legal action against all those who were involved and also see that these two institutions are managed with much better professional management with a better legislation in place.
