The annual financial statement of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) will be handed over to the Election Commission - this has never been done by any political party in Sri Lanka, SLPP National Organiser Basil Rajapaksa said today.

He said this was the first time that a political party had done something like this.

"As a party, we are keen to promote transparency. The financial statement will be distributed among members of the party which functions under the guidance and leadership of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa. We have the ability to win any election which will be held this year," Mr. Rajapaksa said.

He said the SLPP has been bestowed with the task of not only twinning elections but to develop the country as well.

“As a party, we are committed to working harder than the others. People expect a more people-friendly service from us. The country needs a new vision today because society is crippled with fraud and corruption. There is no rule or law and incidents of gender-based violence has increased," Mr. Rajapaksa said.

SLPP Chairman G.L. Peiris, Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam, MP Pavithra Wanniarachchi and others attended the New Year function held at the party headquarters. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

First declare your own assets and their location and how you managed to accumulate your wealth in your name and under 3rd parties.

Yes, definitely that should be the first step before doing this.

You should have followed all these when you were in power as well

Alex Tuesday, 01 January 2019 07:22 PM

Surely the party membership paid by MR and Co. are deleted from the statement. This action is to show the people concern that MR and Co.are not SLPP members and nothing to do with transparency. Basil never does anything transparent.

Ha ha haDon’t you think it’s funny that the transparency and corruption free govt coming from your mouth MR s even membership you Gud not accept and he declared he is a life time member of SLFP. Now you say party is under guidance of MR. don’t you feel ashamed to say like this. Don’t you feel even here you are not honest and transparent. First be honest. And ask yourself whether you speak truth

Well done sir.

Pinch me please Tuesday, 01 January 2019 08:06 PM

SLPP - " the party which functions under the guidance and leadership of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa." This means that SLPP is controlled by a SLFP member!

Basil could submit the financial statement about Malwana Bungalow as well. People like to see if Mahinda, Namal and other JO-kers names and their contributions in the list.
