As 'servants' of the people they think they're entitled to everything free.
IBNUABOO Saturday, 22 June 2013 03:48 PM

THEY CAN SUBMIT MEDICAL CERTIFICATES OF " SELECTIVE AMNESIA"
Minister Saturday, 22 June 2013 07:23 AM
Ooh. Only Ex's? What about the current's? Are they paying the exact bill?
chams Saturday, 22 June 2013 07:15 AM
I thought AG's duty is discharging the ones to be convicted only?
Ling Saturday, 22 June 2013 05:51 AM
Maybe they suffered from Duminda syndrome, "Sorry, I cannot remember".
Amila. G Saturday, 22 June 2013 05:38 AM
This the difference between when in power and not in power.
Naz Saturday, 22 June 2013 05:25 AM
What about rest of ministers.Okama horu..
Nodrog Saturday, 22 June 2013 05:11 AM
This is selective implementation of the law. Bigger crimes of squandering and wastage go unpunished.
Ratavasiya Friday, 21 June 2013 06:25 PM
Why sudden implementation of the law, probably to deceive the public as the elections are round the corner!
meenavn Saturday, 22 June 2013 03:33 AM

Please check Presents MPs Bill.
Fair N Square Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:54 AM
Are these MP considered outsiders? or have they ruffled the feathers of the ruling party...? No matter what, they all need to be stripped of their perks and made to pay the charges ANY citizen would pay. NO concessions what so ever.
Fair N Square Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:50 AM
Interestingly the pack is led by a THERO... So this is how one can live within SLR 7500.00 as per Bandula Gunawarda..
Oh I also see Mahipala Herath.. how interesting to note these are the " Peoples Representatives" IProf Wickramatillake Saturday, 22 June 2013 02:01 AM
How about the present guys?
Premalal Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:46 AM
Free loaders all the way.
Cobra Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:17 AM
So the AG waits till they become ex MP's to sue them for non payments of rent etc!!!
MagodisThuma Saturday, 22 June 2013 01:14 AM
What about the electricity bills of ministers ?
Ranjo Friday, 21 June 2013 11:56 PM
Do MPs settle bills anywhere in Sri Lanka?
Namal Baby Friday, 21 June 2013 06:57 PM
