    Rs. 113,460, just US$ 610. What a joke. With this amount, a judge in Germany would not even pick up a pen, let alone issue an arrest warrant. What about the billion dollars the Rajapaksa clan robbed from the country?

    ARE THE SLPP POLITICIANS PAYING FOR THEIR ADVERTS ON TV CHANNELS. CAUSE LAST TIME MR DID NOT PAY AND THE BILL WAS IN MILLIONS

    Keshi Sunday, 19 July 2020 07:05 PM

    Misappropriation of Postal Charges - what this means is that as an MP he is given an allocation of stamps for his office use annually. When the year ends, he has to return them. This is what they are harping on! Whereas there are those who steal MILLIONS, and nobody cares?

    The bigger the crime easier to get off by spending 10% of the robbed money to those responsible..
