JO to collect donations to pay Lalith's fine
The joint opposition with the help of Buddhist monks is hoping to collect cash donations to pay the fine imposed by the High Court on former presidential secretary Lalith Weeratunga, MP Bandula Gunawardena said yesterday.
Mr. Weeratunga was ordered to pay Rs.50 million as compensation to the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRC) after he was found guilty of misappropriating Rs.600 million of its funds to distribute 'sil redi' during the 2015 presidential election campaign.
The MP told Daily Mirror a meeting was to be held last night at Sunethradevi Pirivena in Pepiliyana to launch this programme. (Kelum Bandara)

Mahinda or Basil have so many billions from the looted commissions, why not from that money they can pay off the fines.

Not only the JO, the entire nation knows well that Mahinda is responsible and deserve punishment as he is the one who forcibly ordered his loyal secretary to do so.

Why not collect money for the flood relief work rather than on paying the compensation for criminals. There are lot more worthy causes than for this criminals. Kidney patients, orphanages, etc etc. Jo has forgotten collection for Arusha P?????

How did the two men asked from the court time till 20th to pay the fines?? They knew beforehand that the former King is going to pay their fines (totaling 104m) as well as their legal expenses. This is just an eyewash to squash more questions arising if the king pay the fines directly. Now it would be done under the guise of "contributions from the people".

This is a ruse for MR and Co. to pay the fine and then say from the collection. As usual to fool public, Law authorities and Tax Dept.

This is called double bonus, you rob 600M then pay fine of only 50M and then beg fm others for another 50m. What a robbery. If you want to buy Sill cloth you pay out of your pocket and buy Sill Cloth. If we want to donate a monk can we go and get the money from TRC ? What a joke Mahinda n Bandula. This is the 7500 family budget of Bandula.
