President Maithripala Sirisena said today voters had a responsibility to elect only qualified and untainted candidates for the next parliament.ranga Friday, 07 August 2015 10:25 PM
I believe that the president is making a right comment for once...not to vote for anyone remotely associated with the biggest robbery of all times in SL history...the Bond Scam...
Sikuru Friday, 07 August 2015 07:02 PM
He betrayed SLFP to save the country
Upul Friday, 07 August 2015 08:43 PM
Definitely we need to elect only the untainted. There is a tendency for the untainted today to become tainted tomorrow. To avoid that we need to bring in tougher laws, and at the same time, law should be equally applied to anybody who breaks it. There shouldn't be one law to the general public and another for the influential.

Yet we are happy to call them Honorables and His/Her Excellency
Truth Friday, 07 August 2015 09:00 PM
He is still and SLFPer and he is still the party president. He did what needs to be done to restore SLFP.
Truth Friday, 07 August 2015 09:02 PM
so now people can differentiate the good ones among the rotten ones to vote. Lets see if people themselves are rotten by looking at preferential votes of the results.

Prem Nath Friday, 07 August 2015 09:47 PM
Sir,any examples that could be followed?
Bala Friday, 07 August 2015 10:05 PM
Have you not heard - discretion is the better part off valour. Wait for the right time to act - Hon. My3 did just that. Thank you sir for doing the correct thing at the right time and got rid of the cancer.
Bala Friday, 07 August 2015 10:08 PM
The nomination board did that. He alone cannot act against all of Ali Babas crooks in the SLFP Central Committee.
chandradeva Friday, 07 August 2015 06:55 PM
I am telling respectfully to you MS that you did not take correct action in correct time and now telling us to elect "only qualified and untainted candidates". You did not fulfill the people’s aspirations as an Executive President. Further presently Limited gangs are Creating "BISHANAYA" by killing people. MS, MACO, IGP all must discuss and take immediate action to stop killings and to conduct free and fair election.
Lal Chan Friday, 07 August 2015 10:26 PM
President request is correct. But we voters always elect crooks. These crooks alway justify voteres they are the only ones who can move the country forward.
gihan Friday, 07 August 2015 10:46 PM
what about Rohitha, Mahindananda, Prasanna, SM, Keheliya ...... All are very clean as per you
Saman Kumara Saturday, 08 August 2015 07:24 AM
MS did not betrayed SLFP. Basil was a UNPer and contested for UNP. MR betrayed SLFP for stipr the civil rights of Sirimavo Bandaranayake. MR bribed million for getting Dayasiri Jayaseka, Pabba< Wimal Weerawansa and many other UNP politicians. Everyone can see only president MS because when he jumped the boat for presidency. In this earth who woudent such things when county was running with One Rajapakse Family, .

mori Sunday, 09 August 2015 05:21 PM
Well Sira you are a tainted politician now too. You are turning a blind eye to the CB fiasco. So think before calling the kettleblack.
Sam Friday, 07 August 2015 05:11 PM
What qualification you have to be president? You betrayed your own party.
Kapila Perera Friday, 07 August 2015 04:20 PM
Thank you for your understanding and telling the truth to mislead people of this country.If the previous government was so bad and corrupt you too are responsible for all bad doings MR. president.
ANTON Friday, 07 August 2015 04:46 PM
BUT ACCORDING TO THE COURT STATEMENTS, ALL ARE INNOCENT, ..... NO ONE WAS SENTENCED AND PUNISHED.
Mansoor Friday, 07 August 2015 04:47 PM
Sir, We have our own reservations on your comments made on past few weeks. We actually voted for a brave and selfless man with no agenda on party politics, but you dashed our hopes by spinning between MR, Susil, Anura Yapa and Nimal and finally proved you are also just another typical politician. The mandate you got from 6.2mn people should not be auctioned to UPFA politics. The new parliament will not be so easy for you though UNP clinch it with slim majority. MR and his rowdy clan will be a permanent heck for you and the country until you wash off your hands from their past robberies. This is called betrayal for politics.
samith Friday, 07 August 2015 04:47 PM
Politics is the last resort of a scoundrel.
Jonston Friday, 07 August 2015 04:57 PM
There is so much that one can say and do with a dictator! The timing has to be great, and he proved it!
George Friday, 07 August 2015 05:05 PM
Funny ......??? Tks Mr MS
hb Friday, 07 August 2015 05:06 PM
why are you against this statement? Do you want the president to asked the people to vote the corrpted and the tainted?
saman Friday, 07 August 2015 05:07 PM
Like Ranil you mean?May be Man-gala?What about the dentist?
Perumal Friday, 07 August 2015 05:09 PM
Kapila, yes he is responsible. The members of the former cabinet are responsible. The former MPs are responsible and the people of this country are also responsible. You are also responsible.
ANTON Friday, 07 August 2015 04:02 PM

You have given nominations to all rotten eggs and now asking people to select good eggs!!

I´d rather go and look for some clean salad leaves in a garbage can. good luck.
karthi Friday, 07 August 2015 05:43 PM
Mr.President People in our country mostly elect candidates who are fulfilling their own aspirations.
Eraj Pernando Friday, 07 August 2015 05:56 PM
100% correct, UPFA most candidate are not qualified or educated , Just grade 8-10 max education like this Ouss Anthony
Etihadeen Friday, 07 August 2015 06:02 PM
The public will elect this time a hand full of educated and young experience candidates to the parliment of 2/3 majority of Yapalana members.
kal Friday, 07 August 2015 06:04 PM
Mr. President these few words says plenty. Now our voters must use their intelligence when casting their franchise.
Sorinis Friday, 07 August 2015 06:11 PM
Oh oh,are there any left?
ravi Friday, 07 August 2015 06:14 PM
