The profits of the company owned by the son in law confirms the theft.

There is no two words about it; UNP (actually it is RW) is hell bent on safeguarding Mahendran and Perpetual Treasuries. People are watching the outcome. Hadunnetti on a lone battle. Come elections, RW/UNP will get what they deserve.

One SOB in parliament is responsible for this and very soon he will ruin the party too.

Sri Wickrama Tuesday, 25 October 2016 11:12 AM

Bond Mahendran is sending UNP crashing into doom.

the reformed Red Shirts appear better compared to the Blues and Greens and the combination of the two.

Kadupol Jothywansa Monday, 24 October 2016 08:41 PM

If you vote for Red Shirts - means, you are committing suicide.

Yes stretch your hands and loot at the sky for another 20 years.

Same way you and your colleges called MR stole 18 billion, golden horses, lambogini, Bangalore,etc..one of your eyes don't seem to work my friend..

Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 24 October 2016 08:37 PM

Sunil H'hetty is just a peanut. Nothing to worry, let me walk out permanently.

Sunimal Monday, 24 October 2016 08:37 PM

UNP COPE members writing the death warrant of their Party. Sunimal

It is no suprise that UNP ministers are trying to cover up bond scam.. even half the people here also justifies their act...

German Jacob Monday, 24 October 2016 08:32 PM

If Sunil walks out, appoint a UNP member for his position. Finished.

Badur Monday, 24 October 2016 08:22 PM

Hats off Sunil Handunetti. You refused to bow down to pressure. You stood on behalf of the people and it is time we seriously think of the third force. via DM Android App

There would have been bugs in the chair What a joke this is turning out to be.

Sam Perera Monday, 24 October 2016 07:56 PM

Shelly,Please read the constitution before making statements. A.G. has the constitutional mandate to audit any section of the government without any restrictions, including the president's office.

Jagath Leanage Monday, 24 October 2016 07:49 PM

Dont worry . People will reply suitable way in next general election .

Madiya Monday, 24 October 2016 07:38 PM

Soon we can perform the last rites for this government. That dose not mean the MR clan gets a clean slate. We have to vote for a 3rd force .

Mason Monday, 24 October 2016 07:21 PM

Sunil Handunnetti is playing into the hands of Ex CB Governor Arjuna Mahendran's UNP supporters. This is exactly what they want, to scuttle the Bond Scam Investigation Report.Do not give up Mr. Sunil Handunnetti, fight these corrupt ones. We know you can do it.

Shelly. Monday, 24 October 2016 07:17 PM

A. G. has no powers to audit C. B. finance decisions. Handunhetti should know how power and authority behaves. He had acted biased from the beginning. via DM Android App

How do you call it "Bond scam" very prematurely.The President said was correct. All the media are against the government.

oh, is this the yahapalanya people expected ?unuth ekai munuth ekai....

Saman Monday, 24 October 2016 07:02 PM

Feel sorry for Mr. Sunil Handunnetti. Guy has the right idea but the system we have created is more powerful. That is sending selfish to the Parliament. Cover ups are on the rise again "Yahapalanaya" "Suba anagathayak" all are sweet words until they get the power. Shame on all who are behind these cover ups.

WHY SHOULD HE WALKED OUT? DEMANDING THE AUDITOR GENERAL TO WITHDRAW HIS STATEMENT CAN BE CONSIDERED A THREAT. SO ACTION CAN BE TAKEN AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED. via DM Android App
