President Maithripala Sirisena said today even though two factions accused in Parliament each other of being thieves, people know who the real thieves were.

“Just as a pick-pocket calls out “there is a thief, there is a thief” while he is snatching someone’s purse, two factions in Parliament today accused each other of being thieves. But people know who the real thieves are,” the President said addressing a rally in Anuradhapura.

daham Thursday, 11 January 2018 08:29 AM

You dissolved parliament when DEW cope report was due to submit to the parliament. So you saved the robbers.

wesley John Thursday, 11 January 2018 08:39 AM

President should have taken the steps he is taking now when he took over office in 2015. "Better later than never". If HE is serious in eradicating corruption, he has nothing to fear. The nation loving people of this country will will surely back him for the second term in office.

Similarly name a Honest Minister in Mahinda's Cabinet. All have come to rob, There were Honest Ministers before 1970. A few till 1989.

Asoka Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:03 AM

People know who the real thieves are but unfortunately you as the president don't know whom...You have forgotten the promises you made before the elections in 2014...and that's why you face all these problems...

Daya Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:15 AM

Does it apply to the incumbent P.M. as well

dg Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:16 AM

But the thief is asking 'Kauda Hora ?' Shame....

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:27 AM

It is clear that a major scam took place under MS/RW governance but glad the findings were made public and action against the perpetrators is definite. However during the earlier regime, thuggery, corruption, criminality was the order of the day and was swept denied and supported by the leaders of that time.

Imran Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:36 AM

They are rulers and they can do anything, they will accuse each other today and will be friends next day. We are the pubic who finally deceived. Our country will not develop till this uneducated and unprofessional political ethics would exist. People must be chosen the good politicians over their speaking ability. The main problem of developing countries like us is we do not understand the theory of Actions speak louder than words.

Samitha Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:55 AM

Look Who Is Talking .

tissa Thursday, 11 January 2018 09:57 AM

Yahiya Thursday, 11 January 2018 10:07 AM

Liberal thinkers are with you. This election is can weighted of people mentality. Not the country aim.

Julian Thursday, 11 January 2018 10:30 AM

Hats off to the President. Untainted, undefiled and true son of Lanka.

Rasheed Thursday, 11 January 2018 10:33 AM

Without asking the public, why don't you exactly pin point the thieves.

bindu Thursday, 11 January 2018 11:10 AM

All these fellows are rouges so vote for a different party at the local government elections.Not those who governed earlier.

Sarath Thursday, 11 January 2018 02:53 PM

Pot calling kettle black. What about MS issuing 3 billion worth radio waves to MTV for peanuts, without following tender procedure?

Man Friday, 12 January 2018 07:54 AM

MTV render a great service to the nation. So their station gutted by Rajapakshas. You may file a case.

voter Thursday, 11 January 2018 03:03 PM

Yes, a majority of the populace knows who the thieves are except for the fools who blindly follow there political masters for their own benefit. The majority who knows who thieves are is powerless to do anything. That's the pathetic situation of this country.

Jayan Thursday, 11 January 2018 03:35 PM

Don't forget that you appointed the Commission of Inquiry because of public demand. You are also partly to blame for dissolving the parliament before DEW could submit the COPE report. Most Sri Lankans are disgusted with all the politicians, including yourself, for not taking prompt action against the crooks.

SENA Thursday, 11 January 2018 03:54 PM

No one calls Saradiel a thief Mr.President

Manil Friday, 12 January 2018 10:03 AM

Julian put back your hat on again. You are still dreaming

kumar Friday, 12 January 2018 01:40 PM

You can start with your brothers and other family members....just like MARA days. Also dont forget we voted you in not to hug SLFP. Hope you understand that very well!!!!

Ozee Saturday, 13 January 2018 10:08 PM
