    What about a verdict for Basil Rajapakse for defrauding billions of dollars from the country?

    Quite a shame in our judicial system. A good example of the law applicable to the poor and the law applicable to the rich.

    Biggest joke of the century. Judge must have some grudge against the accountant. Sirisena should serve 24000 years for looting 80 million worth of official residence from tax payers.

    Andrew Silva Saturday, 07 December 2019 01:23 PM

    Rs.2 million and 367 years in prison. How about the politicians and cooperate high ups who robbed billions of cash they are innocent. This judge must be out of his mind. Judiciary in full swing. " katakiyandatha."

    perera Saturday, 07 December 2019 01:35 PM

    Super, if the law is applicable to all citizens equally

    FG Saturday, 07 December 2019 03:12 PM

    What a joke, does a human live for so long? Why is the law only for some and the rest who rob in billions or millions go scot free? Is this law?
