Colombo, Oct. 15 (Daily Mirror) - Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa yesterday warned the government to fulfill the promises made to the people, saying that “enough lies have been told.”

He said that no matter how many amendments are introduced in Parliament or how many ministers are changed, it would not make any difference if the government continued to act dishonestly.

However, he noted that it was encouraging to see that Sri Lanka’s judicial system still functions independently.

Addressing the media, Rajapaksa said that the recent bail consideration of the former Navy Commander had revealed how the Police and CID had acted improperly, as pointed out by the court. “Now the lies of the CID have been further confirmed. Through this, the Police Department has been disrespected,” he said.

He further stated that the harm caused to honest police and military officers who had dedicated their lives to defeating terrorism was extremely serious.

Rajapaksa also accused the government of acting politically to serve the interests of the diaspora and certain other groups “in a very despicable manner.”

You are irrelevant and your opinion makes no difference to the people or the government. If I were you I'd make the most of my free time rather than wasting it with irrelevant comments. Just reminding you that your court case is coming up soon so don't plan any trips to avoid court.

it became impossible due the system previous leaders made. they have put a big burden to this country by taking massive amounts of loan and wasting countries resources. trying to give you vitz for 12 lakhs will only make another economic crisis. even the previous leaders wont give you either. you dont have a choice. at least now we have a leader who wont steal countries money for his private use

Words are like leaves, and where they most abound, much fruit of sense is rarely found!

It’s clear the NPP government is keeping its promises, one by one. What we want most is an end to waste and corruption, starting with our politicians — and for past corrupt officials and their accomplices to be held accountable. That’s what’s beginning to happen, and it’s exactly what we wanted.
