  • Dr Tissa Fernando :Your NPP has files about everyone else, but not the Speaker. NPP has the expertise in deceptive marketing to change voters. They did that with Uganda money story, then claiming to have many Doctors in the party. But slowly, Uganda money story has become false, Doctor titles of their MPs are being removed, more lies to come out soon. All their election promises such as justice to Easter Sunday Victims, Bringing back Uganda money, not importing rice, reducing cost of living are all vanishing into thin air. They are just continuing with RW policies.

Then you get married to a plantation girl to show that you have genuine concern for their welfare. Only after that start initiatives to seek cheap publicity like what you are doing now.
