    Ah, once again the "disciplined nation" is showing its banana republic nature.

    We know the outcome, even before he landed.

    Shiran fernando Saturday, 04 April 2020 02:42 AM

    It is not a new news to us. We new it when he suddenly appeared from dissapearence.

    Prison Hospital, Paying Ward then Home. Excellent justice system in Sri Lanka for a person who has swindled the country.

    All those who were arrested since 2015 January, all are out on bail. Only one matter proceeded to a hearing and that is where two top Government officials were involved. All the politicos are free. Weerawansa case was an open and shut case but it is still going on. This is Sri Lanka

    The 2.5 Million Rupees and the 50 Million is nothing for these goons.

    Nice move, the Democracy of brotherhood. He was brought down, kept in prison for few days, then sent to General Hospital and gate was opened to go home as a free bird. Nice plan, many more culprits to come out soon. Citizens are not idiots, keep that in mind.

    Ah! The big need to have court sitting amidst Corona.

    Don Juwan Saturday, 04 April 2020 07:26 AM

    He should be given a responsible post equivalent to the post of minister to handle finance matters during this crucial times. The Govt.must not forget that he was serving as a diplomat for Sri Lanka.

    Sambo Saturday, 04 April 2020 07:29 AM

    That was on the books. However in Sri Lanka we do not punish wrong doers, we chant Pirith to them

    Always, everything is a temporary cover up to win elections and the masses always are taken on a ride. Shame... It proves that greater the crime by powerful and influential people, you are either pardoned or granted bail. These encourages people to commit big crimes. What a state of affairs.

    Let this be his epitaph - 'he who steals and runs away will live to steal another day.

    Whats new? Air Bus fraudster Chandrasena out on bail, Avant Garde out, CB scam Perpetual guys out; Waiting for Jaliya Wickremesinge to come from the US and he will be out as well. Lalith Weeratunga next. Then Duminda Silva, Tangalle murderer/rapist who killed the UK holiday maker. BTW what happened to the other cases- Namal and his Company money laundering; Yoshitha and Daisy Achi, Rajapakse family memorial case??
