Colombo, July 3 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa said those who facilitated the air parade of the newly leased aircraft over Colombo will be questioned in the future.

He said inquiries will extend to those who approved the expenses for allowing a 10-year-old aircraft to fly over Colombo on three occasions.

“Those who authorised the spending for the aircraft to circle Colombo will also have to answer questions tomorrow,” Rajapaksa added.

Further, the SLPP National Organiser stated that he will fully support ongoing investigations, reiterating that neither he nor his family had committed any wrongdoings.

The motor races that had been conducted in the vicinity of sacred tooth relic during your father’s regime few years ago should also be questioned

What’s his point? He and the family are being gradually cornered and they don’t know how to defend themselves but to utter cheap nonsense. We the public are entirely happy with this government. At least this government is flying planes as part of an effective promotion without commissions going into pockets of individuals of family and friends of the previous government.

Namal how about you use Air-force Helicopters to travel for Horse ride in Nuwara-Eliya (Daily)? How about you raring 40 dogs and the dogs feed you import 4 Nos x 40 Ft. containers from China? Flower pots displayed in the front walls of Temple Trees you were spending 3.8 million monthly for maintenance. All these cost did you pay from your pocket?

What about the races held in around the Dalada maligawa in Kandy during his father’s era . How about answering to that expenditure before anything else

We will let the courts decide on the wrongdoings of you and your family. It can't happen soon enough so we don't have to see or hear from in the daily paper

And how about your fake law exam. When do you hope to be in the courts to answer to charges of masquerading as a lawyer that does not know the law.

Don’t you remember Gota sending a plane to Geneva, just to bring a dog.

Had you at least pretend shouting to your uncle for mismanaging the airline, it wouldn’t been grounded and he could have avoided the remand now. Your family grounded and you are complaining about flying over CMB. What a sad lawyer you are!

When the next election is due, Nomolaya will be a jail bird together with his uncle, Daisy aachchi, Yoshitha, etc etc.

Those who is dwelling in the past will never let the bandwagon move ahead. The people in the power has been give extreme powers to punish the wrong doers. And the masses should not keep quiet about the current wrong doers just lamenting only about the past. The stupidity should stop somewhere.

Airline gets someone else's hand-me-down plane in 2025 pretending it is "new" and parade it like we're in the 1960s. Stop with the small minded mentality. Think big if you want to progress and prosper in a big way.

He seems like a rattled dog in a cage. Barking at everything despite right or wrong. Should get his head checked.

How about your uncle who brought Sri Lankan airlines to bankruptcy by using it as his private property. Your entire family lived like this country was your personal property. So what should the public do to them.

I support Namal on this and will encourage him to file a case in courts. Record loss making Sri Lankan is financed by taxpayers and hence those responsible should abide by courts decision. Shame on Sri Lankan

Namal you try to be upside down, never you will win a single election (not even in your own electorate) because the damages your father and your uncles did for SriLanka is countless. Your mother too played out on Tsunami money. Every citizen of SL knows how you wasted our money. So, shut your mouth and get ready to count the Jail bars in due course.

Born again Namal and brothers??? Not the Sri Lankans who suffered under your corrupted family. Can the government investigate the friends of Namal who drives the luxury vehicles in SL and the financing is paid by different people but not these owners. These vehicles are bought under friends names but owned the Rajapaksa brothers.

Before talking about the Air Parade losses, ask your brother who served Air-force, how many days he worked (Performed his duties) for his position and how many millions he robbed getting a huge salary from Air-force.

How many times you have gone with Weerawansa for Village Girls hunting using different luxury cars you own and paid huge Luxury Hotel Bills?

Namal, even though what you said may be factually correct, that little trip from Sri Lankan Airlines made me feel proud of our airline and our country. Sri Lankan can afford such a trivial detour as part of its marketing budgets. Besides after wasting so much public money you and yoshitha are disqualified from making such statements. Some other person who does not have a notorious past could have raised objections now that carrom boards and sil redi are all getting questioned.
