ALL THIS BRIBARY AND CORRUPTION HAPPENED WITH THE BLESSING OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA. EVERYONE HAS A DUTY TO ENSURE HE NEVER RETURNS TO POWER!

Where has the Inland Revenue Department been during these accumulation of wealth by these crooks who claim to be at the service of people? If an ordinary citizen buys a piece of land he will surely get a QQ form. I think the IRD should be investigated for not performing their duties.

what about the former minister who wanted to have a dessert after the election?

all these uneducated thugs of MR has taken our money, which we pay as taxes. These moneys are for the development of the country and definitely not for these Booruwas. Very sad.

Lakshman De Silva Friday, 20 March 2015 08:58 AM

In Sri Lanka the ordinary citizens cannot save money even to built a tpoilet with ten years salary! Thennbthese politicians despite the free luxury cars can afford Cartier and Mont bank spectacles that costs over 250,000 Rs.all politicians accumulate wealth. At the outset, politicans must declare their assets fpr the record

Alagiyawanna Friday, 20 March 2015 03:36 PM

He is innocent! A king cobra has brought him a magical gem (Naga Manikyaya) which gives him all the riches he wishes. That is the source of his wealth. So stop the inquiry.Remember that the same cobra bit him last time he was to appear before the bribery commission. What more proof does anyone need!

paba Friday, 20 March 2015 06:33 PM

500 millions, hahaha! 5 billions comes closer.

Gammiris Saturday, 21 March 2015 01:35 AM

desilco Saturday, 21 March 2015 09:01 AM

MAY BE THE PAYAGALA MPCS HAS TO BE SCREENED TO SEE HOW THEY PROCESSED THE TODDY FROM COCONUT TREES AND MADE SPIRITS. AND HOW MUCH THEY PAID THE POLITICIAN FOR PROTECTION PER BARREL.THIS MIGHT SHED SOME LIGHT/ HOW DID HE BUY A HOUSE DOWN TEMPLERS ROAD AT ATHULA MAWATHA FOR A FANCY AMOUNT.

Pinocchio Thursday, 19 March 2015 06:21 PM

Wellwisher Thursday, 19 March 2015 04:27 PM

The caretaker of these thieves are visiting the culprits of the previous govt and slinging mud against the present govt for their arrests. We hope that necessary action will be taken against the thieves.
