Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake admitted to there having been a Central Bank bond scam, and said President Maithripala Sirisena’s decision to investigate such scams was an election promise and therefore should be supported by the people.

“I must tell the truth even if I am expelled from my electoral seat or from the party. I am not in the habit of telling lies. Telling lies creates mouth cancers. Even our people involved in frauds,” he said.

At a meeting in Tissamaharamaya recently the deputy minister said government politicians, who were in the opposition for 20 years, are now exploiting the country’s resources following the footsteps of their predecessors.

He recalled what Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said in the past about robing government funds by UNPers if they came to power.

The state minister said catching thieves was an election promise of this government. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

Well done, your honesty will take you a long way.

He's not that honest. He has imported a 7 series BMW duty free with the permit and sold it and pocketed the money without paying taxes. So don't get fooled by all what he says.

Remember when a typical politician acts this honest he usually has ulterior motives. I'll win your trust today and whip your tax money tomorrow is the case.

Getting the Permit vehicle is a benefit given to all MPs. He has not done any wrong.

You are a professional actor but not acting in politics. However, other professional politicians are acting all the time. You are my HERO forever.
