By Sumaiya Rizvi In a surprising turn of events, newly appointed Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said today that it was optional for journalists to declare their assets and liabilities and not mandatory as declared by the government earlier.
Minister Rambukwella said that while journalists had been requested to fill the assets and liabilities declarations forms which were sent to each journalist by the Information Department earlier last month, he too had declared his assets as a parliamentarian.
“I don’t know about the others (parliamentarians), you can ask the speaker, but I have declared my assets and liabilities,” Minister Rambukwella said.
It is legal to have media personal declare their assets, he added.

Why media personal? How about the Rajapakse Family declare their stolen assets? Whitewashing has to be done from the top and NOT from the bottom !!

Though it is mandatory, parliamentarians continue to think that it is optional to declare their assets. Nobody is there to take them to task!

In the US the President publishes his tax returns, each year, for public scrutiny. Why not in our country?

It is, indeed, encouraging that all of a sudden, journalists have assumed the status of an influential and privilelged lot! This may be due to the dedicated work of Mervyn! Congratulations, journalists!
