Did he not say that he can return the money? Why would you retun the money if you did not take it?

Just a merry-go-round of fooling the common man in Sri Lanka. Nothing will ever prevail of these "hearings." Just like God, the "Law" works in mysterious ways in this country. It truly is the "Wonder" of Asia.

At least you could have built a memorial for your future burial and it would have been marked in history.

Is this has any news value? Great news will be if he is sentenced.

It's just a matter of time before President Sirisena puts a stop to this hearing; citing harassment of the former Defense Secretary. He did this before when GR was being questioned by the FCID. Strangely though, he wants to set up a Commission to look into corruption and malpractices of the government.

Sadly Kalana, our uneducated voters will put this bunch of rogues to power again. Only hope is UNP to kick deaf and blind RW out and young, charismatic politicians to come forward at next election.

It is unfair to always publish a photo of Gota in Casuals when the news item is released that he attended court as he respect court and attend court dressed appropriately

He knows he is safe in the hands of MS. Didn't we see how prince Namal arrived. This is called arrogance.
