Actually there seems to be nothing. After wining of 30 years was by MR mega development projects were launched and big money was in transaction. This has been misconstrued as corruption.

He cut a deal with Rev Ratana Thero last week at the Hospital. He will get bail and be freed.

This man should not be in a hospital, waste of a hospital room and a bed for a thief when there are others who are really sick.

MightyAnt Tuesday, 05 May 2015 02:11 PM

Looks like the deal has fallen apart.

Correction: Not further remanded hospital stay extended. Good he can give a warm welcome to Johnny Boy.

No problem even if jail term is extended for another year. He is well taken care at the Merchants ward with TV, AC, attached bathroom, even his choice of food comes from home
