I think this is a good lesson to all public servants. PB was appointed politically, he survived Madam, then Ranil and moved up with Mahinda.
All he did was what he was bided to by those in power. What he sadly forgot was that he is an appointee, not an elected official by the people through a democratic process. Now he will fade into nothing but wilderness. Was the promise and power of being the Secretary to the Treasury that intoxicating? He was one of the most powerful men in Sri Lanka during Madam’s regime.
He didn’t make money through any of her and her cronies deals; the SriLankan/Emirates deal coming to top of mind.
Further the bus privatisation deal when Ranil was in power and PB was at PERC, he just did what he was bided.
The examples are endless.
I pity him for his greed for power, now cumulating to nothing.

This is not a matter for the Public to gloat over. PBJ did a great job as whould be with any Public servant. He had his highs as well as lows and if policy demands the he must do the right thing - resign. It is for the Minister for Finanace the Prez. to accept or reject. From what is on the grapevine this entire coup against PBJ had been hatched by7 some inteested party in the job also a political hanger. That is Sri Lankan Bureaucracy. C
