IMF, WORLD BANK & ADB AGENDA ON PRIVATISATION by Nihal Sri Ameresekere Pdf

This shockingly explosive Book deals with the manipulative privatization of Sri Lanka Insurance, under a privatization program, pushed by IMF, World Bank and ADB; questionably mishandled by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young, contravening governmental procedures and professional standards; involving a consortium of leading corporates, controlled by one individual, portrayed as a close associate of former US President Bill Clinton. This dubious deal was annulled as wrongful, unlawful and illegal by the Supreme Court, the highest judiciary, observing that it `shocked the conscience of Court', asserting that public assets are held in trust on behalf of the people. This Book exposes those holding elected and selected influential and powerful public office unabashedly compromising national and public interests, in the disposal of an invaluable national asset, at a ridiculous price, to parties, who had not even been pre-qualified, with one party incorporated in Gibraltar after the completion of the process, and whose source of funds channeled through a leading Bank remained a mystery. This Book appallingly reveals how pontificating professionals retrospectively manipulated the financials of Sri Lanka Insurance, facilitating a fraudulent demand for a refund from the Government. It reveals the unashamed condoning of fraud and corruption, and bestowing on corrupt miscreants even more recognition, shunning the `rule of law'; and the absence of law enforcement; and the duplicitous stances of the Chamber of Commerce and the Institute of Chartered Accountants. This book is an `eye opener' on socio-political realities, and is invaluable to those dealing with privatization, public finance and commerce, fraud and corruption, forensic accounting, and to legal academics and professionals, and public interest activists.

Imf, World Bank & Adb Agenda on Privatisation Volume Ii by Nihal Sri Ameresekere Pdf

This Book dramatically spotlights with real case studies, the truism and reality, that politicians aspire for high political office, campaigning vociferously, avowing commitment to combat fraud and corruption, exploiting the economic anguish of poverty stricken people, however upon assuming political power, pathetically such avowed commitment becomes hypocritical hollow rhetoric, with them appallingly getting bogged down in the quagmire of corruption, vehemently castigated and denounced! Reality is that politicians are funded and and assisted by lackeys at elections, resulting in politicians getting obligated to lackeys, blatantly seeking returns on funding and support, at the expense of the abject poor. Case studies dealt with appallingly reveal that the idealistic agenda of IMF, World Bank and ADB pushing privatization only germinates the breeding of corruption, with such institutions becoming mere spectators, compromised to be viewed, as having aided and abetted in corruption, publicly denounced by them, ironically providing alleviation schemes for the upliftment of the abject poor. Fraud and corruption at the highest echelons in Government, involving international parties, are shockingly revealed, with intriguing diplomatic interventions. It is an unbelievable revelation from the stage of lofty idealism to the sublime apathy of deception, complicit with duplicity and hypocrisy, in enforcing the law unequally against opponents for political expediency, whilst those wielding power, themselves, have brazenly acted otherwise, perpetrating offences of much greater gravity, including also shielding lackeys and cronies. Amazingly, the highest judiciary, castigating corruption, upholds the dire need for governance and enforcement of the rule of law, including against the highest in the country. Brilliant in-depth research into real human behavior and wheeler-dealing in the upper echelons of Governments-an ideally invaluable Book for academics and professionals interested in political science, human behaviour, governance, public finance, commerce, rule of law, forensic accounting and privastisation, and for public interest activists.

Review of Implementation of IMF Commitments in Support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by International Monetary Fund. Strategy, Policy, & Review Department Pdf

The paper reviews the implementation of the initiatives the IMF committed to in 2015 to support developing countries in pursuing the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, including (i) strengthening national tax systems; (ii) tackling large infrastructure gaps; (iii) promoting economic inclusion; (iv) the development of domestic financial markets; (v) intensifying engagement in fragile and conflict-affected states; (vi) improving economic statistics; (vii) expanding the financial safety net for developing countries; and (viii) addressing macroeconomic aspects of climate change. The implementation record to date shows that there has been a large scaling up of IMF support for the 2030 development agenda. The IMF has also engaged in other initiatives of direct relevance for supporting the 2030 development agenda, including adopting a framework to assess corruption vulnerabilities and developing a broad framework for assessing the spending levels needed to reach key SDGs. The paper draws lessons learned from the implementation of the various initiative to inform future IMF engagements.

This book is a history of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), a multilateral development bank established 50 years ago to serve Asia and the Pacific. Focusing on the region’s economic development, the evolution of the international development agenda, and the story of ADB itself, this book raises several key questions: What are the outstanding features of regional development to which ADB had to respond? How has the bank grown and evolved in changing circumstances? How did ADB’s successive leaders promote reforms while preserving continuity with the efforts of their predecessors? ADB has played an important role in the transformation of Asia and the Pacific the past 50 years. As ADB continues to evolve and adapt to the region’s changing development landscape, the experiences highlighted in this book can provide valuable insight on how best to serve Asia and the Pacific in the future.

Enhancing Collaboration - Joint Management Action Plan by International Monetary Fund Pdf

In March 2006, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the President of the World Bank commissioned the External Review Committee on IMF-World Bank Collaboration to look at the status of institutional collaboration and provide suggestions for improvement. The Committee’s report, released in February 2007, called for the strengthening of the culture of collaboration in the two institutions, and made a number of specific proposals in that direction. The Joint Management Action Plan (JMAP) was prepared against this background, and the actions agreed between Bank and Fund managements in the JMAP are scheduled to be presented in informal Board meetings in early October. The JMAP will be launched immediately after the Annual Meetings. The goal is for most new systems to be operational in time for the preparation of FY09 budgets.

Politics, Justice, and the Rule of Law by Nihal Sri Ameresekere Pdf

This is the most controversial Book, containing complex shocking revelations, in the series of Books by the Author, wherein most difficult topics are excellently and diligently dealt with, exposing realities in politics, and non-dispensation of justice, with judiciary acting sans jurisdiction, ultra-vires the Constitution, denying natural justice, making a mockery of the `rule of law', paying scant regard to United Nations Conventions on Human Rights. The range of cases and topics dealt with is indeed amazing making exhorbing reading. Commencing with his own exposure to politics, paying high tribute to minority Tamils in Sri Lanka, the Author brings out stunning prevalent reality. Makes startling disclosures on Sri Lanka's most controversial Presidential Election of 2010, and incarceration, as a villain, a Presidential Candidate, a trusted Army General, once hailed, as the `best Army General in Asia', having led the country's armed forces to crush one of the most feared terrorists organizations, internationally banned, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam. The most difficult and delicate subject of `judicial bias and disqualification' at highest levels of the judiciary is dealt with, including the controversy which reverberated on the endeavour by the Legislature to impeach a Chief Justice, whose husband, having held high profile political office, was impleaded in a dubious share scandal, involving the country's leading Savings Bank. Author incisively delves into an important case of abduction of a Tamil businessman, and the horrendous anonymous allegations of trading in human body parts, during the war against the terrorists, allegedly with Indian and Israeli connections. Author analyses real case studies, involving foreign investments, demonstrating classic instances of dubious judicial processes, including subversion of action, vis--vis, fabricated forged documents of public officers tendered to Court, involving questionable professional conduct, and indifference by law enforcement authorities, including Attorney General, Chief Law Officer of the State.

UN Convention Against Corruption to Combat Fraud & Corruption by Nihal Sri Ameresekere Pdf

An invaluable Book dealing with United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), in force from December 2005, including its evolution, and related UN Convention Against Transnational Organize Crime. UNCAC - is an international legal instrument dealing with combating fraud, corruption and economic crime in public and private sectors, including political leaders and lackeys. Author discloses the formation of International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), in Beijing in October 2006, with Inaugural Address by Chinese President, Hu Jintao. IAACA promotes and facilitates implementation globally of UNCAC, supported by United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime (UNODC). He reveals his endeavours to combat fraud, corruption and economic crime, prior to UNCAC. He demonstrates that whilst fraud and corruption, as endorsed by international research, is a major issue confronting people, how political leaders stride to power exploiting their anguish by committing to combat fraud and corruption, but once in power get bogged down in the quagmire of fraud and corruption, peddled by their lackeys, financing them. Disclosing real instances, he demonstrates how countries, having ratified UNCAC, are not honouring its obligations, but blatantly violating with impunity its obligations; he highlights dire need for international endeavour to deal with political leaders, pillaging and plundering the resources of people plunging them into abject poverty, as crimes against humanity. SAARC leaders acknowledge people in Asia are enslaved in abject poverty, and propound prosperity is not monopoly of a few, but are not committed to combat fraud and corruption. He reveals how World Bank and international agencies pontificate on combating fraud and corruption, but continue to fraternize with fraudulent and corrupt miscreants, demonstrating that mere rhetoric, only subverts UNCAC - an indispensable handbook for those combating fraud, corruption and economic crime.
