Opposition United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe asked the government today what had happened to the ships and other assets of former LTTE arms procurer Kumaran Pathmanathan alias KP.

“We like to know what happened to the 18 ships that belonged to KP. What happened to the 500 petrol sheds he owned?” he asked while speaking in Parliament today.

Mr. Wickremesinghe told parliament that these assets could be used to increase the salaries of public servants. (KB)

Let KP be allowed to speak in public. Why are the Rajapakse's keeping him quiet.

What happened to the millions cash and jewelery 'recovered' from the LTTE in the North last year - no news since? Are there official records? Were the owners traced?
