Udaya Gamampilla is a crook he played out an Australian for that he should face severe punishment. Not only that later he collected Rs. 100/- from the public during elections [Hat collection] but we got to know he bought a Car for his wife from the hat collection.

This fellow Gamampilla talks like a Gentleman, but he does all 3rd class deeds. Everyone knows that he cheated the Australian and played out 21 million. He should be confined to the Welikade Jail.

Hay Gamampilla how many times you approached AKD to join NPP. Have you forgotten that? Weerawansa and you are the racialists. Moreover, AKD anyway won't accept dirty crooks who were looting. You must return the looted money from the innocent Australian, understand.

A real patriotic leader who Alirajah's cash could not buy. Compliments to our justice system.

If the court has cleared him then what is the big deal here. We do not know all the details of this case. But some NPP goons are still accusing him of fraud. These NPP goons hail the justice system when their opponents are prosecuted but when they are acquitted the justice system is bad.

Winning a lawsuit in your favour may not NECESSARILY mean that you are not guilty. If actually guilty, guilty conscience will follow, make you suffer and retribution may even extend beyond death. Natural Justice, did you say?

What is the name of this Australian businessman? I can't remember, none of the commentators have mentioned it either.

Obviously , the Australian gave up the case, as it took 10 years to be taken up. Gommanpilaya escaped.

Only your conscience will tell you whether the decision of acquittal is fair. All this is for the time being where you might not go to prison but if you have done wrong you will be a prisoner of your own conscience. At last sin will overtake you and as the saying goes every action has a equal and opposite reaction so beware you will not know when the Bell Tolls for you!!!!!!

Let us be honest, there would not have been any wrong doing in this case as decided by the courts, because now the Sri Lankan court of law is unbiased and to a great extent uninfluenced. However, it must be stated, Gamanpilla is one culprit who destroyed the beauty of this Nation by specifically and tactically creating various threat rumors tinted with racism to obtain and win votes from a majority ignorant Sinhalese vote base and deliver to his Masters thus obtaining personal benefits without considering the values and fabric of the Nation. These are the actual traitors and terrorists of the Nation, and they remain wearing white all the time.
