Paying gratitude for working for the SLPA even killing the opponents and making him an exemplary character for the rest of the Pohottuwa, for the progress of each and everybody.

I feel Ranjan was right, about the statements he made that got him imprisoned. How can a judge have convicted Premalal Jayasekara of the murder, and then another Judge acquit him. Either the conviction was corrupt, or the acquittal was caused by corruption. I lean toward the acquittal being the wrongful act.

So called 'Lawmaker' Convicted murderer appointed to high Office while civilians fighting for justice languish in jail. Sri Lanka is really a land like no other. 'Hell' is more appropriate.

Choka Malli is a convicted murderer even he was aquitted by corrupt judges from the Court of Appeal. This isn't the only felon Ranil associates with.

These appointents are futile exercise by the incumbent president to promote the die-hard cronies of the infamous neporism clan who use the former through behind-the-scene gimmicks, once nemesis but now friends to fool the electorate again.

Lol. Wasting remaining money of the government and further bankrupting the nation. Imf or any foreign country should not give any loans as long as this corrupted regime lead by RW in power. Imf should force the country to go for an election asap.

Premalal Jayasekara, then a Deputy Minister in the government of incumbent President Mahinda Rajapaksa, was involved in a shooting incident that fatally wounded a supporter of Sirisena who was decorating the election stage. After a trial lasting 5 years, the Ratnapura High Court sentenced Jayasekara and two others to death on 31 July 2020.Later they filed petitions with the Court of Appeal citing that the manner in which the death sentence was imposed was in violation of the law. On 31 March 2022, they were acquitted and released by the Court of Appeal.

When our country is in deep problem the Rajapakses want their crooks to be in power and sadly Fox Ranil has to obey their request. God bless Lanka.

State minister What do you know about shipping and aviation apart from knowledge of citizen X. Do not waste your time man, you must perform no choice if not voters will pack you home come next election, shipping is a different ball game altogether. Only a handful of minsters are doing their job, one to be commendable is Energy Minister Wijesekara.

Ranil Rajapakse (RR) plans to take Sri Lanka to prosperity by rewarding rogues and murderers. I have said this before RR is a failed politician looking to fulfil his bucket list, the sooner he hit the bucket together with his buddies the Rajapakse's the better for SL

Premala for president and Dumindha for PM. Two convicted murderers most appropriate for the posts, who deserve to rule this failed state
