Following recent social media reports that MP Namal Rajapaksa owned a luxury watch collection, the former President’s son denied owning more than two watches.

When contacted by the Daily Mirror, Mr. Rajapaksa said that these were simply rumours that were circulating on social media and websites.

“I don’t own such a luxury watch collection. I own just two watches and they were also gifts from family and friends. I have not bought myself a watch for several years now,” he said.

Commenting on the photos that seem to show him wearing at least eight different luxury watches on different occasions, amounting to several millions of rupees, he said they were fabricated photos.

“In all these photos, it is the same watch that I am wearing. But they have made it seem like they are different.”

He further added that it was simply gossip circulating on social media and not an issue of national concern. (Shihara Maduwage)

Of-course its a national issue, how did this MP Namal Rajapaksha acquire these high value wrist watches, if they were gifts who gave them to Namal and what favours did the MP grant thro his father Mahinda, or uncles Gota and Basil at the expense of public funds!

Veda-mama Friday, 13 February 2015 03:55 PM

What for the telling Namal. The two watches you own are also Duplicates what we purchased down Front Street in Pettah. But ultimately, I had to pay for them since you could not even afford it. So what are these fellows talking about?????

Jayan Friday, 13 February 2015 03:33 PM

The main reason for your father to lose election was your idiotic behavior during his presidency. You are popular only among the fools in Hambantota district.

How does watch ownership affect the governance of Sri Lanka? These petty small comments are from small petty low class chaps. At least try to become better people.

Charles Wright Saturday, 14 February 2015 12:25 PM

Riz Friday, 13 February 2015 03:25 PM

Nims Saturday, 14 February 2015 02:34 AM

May be he purchased only two watches and the rest he received as official gifts. So the rest belongs to Sri Lanka Government.

Namal if Weerawansa needs Rs.8000/- to Rs. 10,000/- for one make up per day, why not you have Luxury watches.
