Why should tax payers bear the cost of re-poll? There should be a method of surcharging the expenses of the re-poll from persons responsible for the election malpractices at Nawalapitya and Kumburupitiya.

The very rich and famous royal family. Apparently they inherited this fortune through family and have gained squandering rights.
