This is meritocracy in Sri Lanka. Disgrace to the President who approves this..All foreign doners should note the state of affairs in the country.
Prince Thursday, 07 March 2024 03:17 PM
Might as well abolish COPE with a crook as chairman
Premalal Perera Thursday, 07 March 2024 03:20 PM

OMG….What a country? What a bunch of parliamentarians? Until I thought NPP would an extreme solution. Now I think it is the only solution to stop this gutter level political system. People… at least once vote NPP. You will lose nothing as there is nothing left by others to lose. What ever happens it would be a gain.

Ladies who are members of COPE and the ladies who attend be careful with your chains. A chain snatcher is in the chair. What a stupid state of affairs, what grade did this thug pass to hold this position? It's an insult to all the other .Ps and COPE members. This is what the country has come to.
Citizen silva Thursday, 07 March 2024 05:41 PM
From a PhD to an ex MP''s Driver. What the country is coming to
Sam Silva Thursday, 07 March 2024 06:26 PM
Don't count on srilanka PhD very much. Their iq is the same as driver. Whoever takes this position and this fake committee is waste of tax payers money.
Wiraj Thursday, 07 March 2024 05:42 PM
Will not be surprised if he contests for presidential polls as SLPP candidate.
Abdul Baasith zia Thursday, 07 March 2024 05:45 PM
Ha ha..joke of the day
Chryshan Thursday, 07 March 2024 06:05 PM
Here after when entering cope meetings everyone will remove their chains at the entrance and put in pocket.

The appointment is not by the president but by the MP's.

Forget about the presidential polls. First dissolve this parliament. Cannot stomach these SLPP morons anymore.
Gong Baas Thursday, 07 March 2024 07:27 PM
The other appointees to COPE must boycott.
Pathmaranjan Perera Thursday, 07 March 2024 07:28 PM
What a disaster.
DOT Thursday, 07 March 2024 07:31 PM
Only way out for SL people is to remove Ranil at the next election. He is a political power corrupted individual
Mahila Sunday, 10 March 2024 03:04 AM
This is not an Appointment, done by Ranil!!?? WRONG GUESS!! This is an appointment by the "Legislature", 'HANDIWORK' of 225 "Erudite and Emancipated" Parliament MPs' elected by the EQUALLY, "Erudite and Emancipated", Voter Citizens, totalling 6.9 million!!?? It is their "Handiwork", Not by anybody else's effort or design!? DON’T BEAT THE WRONG HORSE!!?? Not RW but 225 MPs!? So, make sure the uneducated THUGS
D S de Silva Thursday, 07 March 2024 07:33 PM
Who appoints these kind of thugs to such positions? This is beyond a joke.
Joshua Thursday, 07 March 2024 08:28 PM
Just stinks this SLPP. Hope these fellows will be thrown to the drains at the.next election
Mahesh Thursday, 07 March 2024 08:57 PM
BR is back and the 10% commission is going to be put in place and the right people to be appointed first. So this is just a start and many to come in future- The people need to prepare for higher prices and shortages and there will be more billionaires to be created in SL
Ram Thursday, 07 March 2024 09:07 PM
Gold medalist as COPE Chairman. Government is violating all the good practices and playing games. Opposition must educate the voters on this

He might call all bankers and asked balnce. IMF may reject next payment.
CHILDOFGOD Thursday, 07 March 2024 11:41 PM
LOOKS LIKE MY PREDICTION IS COMING TO PASS IF OUR CITIZENS DO NOT VOTE THIS CROWD OUT. GOTA HAD A GENDA WHEN HE PUT RANIL AS PRESIDENT AND RANIL KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTING INTO, BUT HE TOOK OVER. HOWEVER, IF THIS LOT COMES IN THE COUNTRY HAS NO HOPE ESPECIALLY THE POOR. THE RICH WILL SURVIVE WHATEVER GOVT COMES IN, THE POOR WILL SUFFER FAR WORSE THAN BEFORE. IT IS THE WAR OF THE RICH VS THE POOR. TIME TO WORK A MIRACLE LORD. WE HAVE BIG EARS CALLING THE SHOTS AND NODDY AT HIS FEET.THE CURSES OF THE POOR WILL FALL UPON THIS LOT IF ELECTED.
Erandani Dias Thursday, 07 March 2024 11:47 PM
Oh Lord! The only consolation we have is that it will be for a few more months only.........
Sam Friday, 08 March 2024 12:32 AM
What a joke. Hope our clever people (who called clever by themselves) won't elect these uneducated thugs to the parliament.
S.Dayan Friday, 08 March 2024 12:52 AM
He must be the least curruppted person in the parliament compared to others. That might be the reason why others collectively appointed him. Thanks all other members for being genuine and appoint a more suitable person than all of you.
muthutantri Friday, 08 March 2024 03:59 AM
what a mess, Mr Speaker, no wonder you need a no confidence motion
Mahila Friday, 08 March 2024 04:01 AM

K Attanayaka Friday, 08 March 2024 04:22 AM
No wonder this country is so screwed up. Chain robber appointed as the COPE committee chairman. Ranil where is your integrity, looks like KAPUTA is squeezing his balls so hard. Dissolve the parliament and go for a quick election that he the only way for Ranil to rebuild his integrity.

Abeygunawardena was questioned in September 2008 on allegations of undeclared assets estimated at more than Rs. 450 million. The two officers who were conducting the investigation were later transferred out of the Bribery commission.[6] The Commission of Bribery and Corruption filed a case against Abeygunawardena on 8 January 2016 over undeclared and illegally earned assets worth over Rs 41.1 million.[7] The Director General of the Bribery Commission alleged that the minister made 66 unlawful monetary transactions, constructed a house and purchased a jeep.[8]

Thanks you 6.9!
Ranil is rubbing our noses in the dust! Friday, 08 March 2024 07:31 AM
You are all wrong. Look at others in COPE! This is the caliber of MPs, we the voters had been sending to Parliament year after year. If they are good enough to be elected to parliament, then they are good enough to hold a post. Years ago COPE chairman was a Chartered Accountant.
Sambo Friday, 08 March 2024 07:57 AM
If Rihitha could become the COPE chairman any clown could become the president of this country.
UAli Friday, 08 March 2024 09:02 AM
What a shameful appointment,this guy famously known as a snatch thief in train between Iduruwa and Payagala, now coming up stories of his involvement in cattle stealing in his early stage of politics, some times ago a child of a former deputy minister said stories about him, anyway he was wish of people ,but after his rogue behavior people rejecting him, now this gold chain snatcher turned to be the best choice for Cope chairman by Central Bank fraudster RW
Nandapala Gonhetti Friday, 08 March 2024 03:42 PM
I believe that this is the best appointment to the best person of SL! Rattaran Hora is the most suitable to save this sinking RW and Myna company! Please support or go home! I am in favour to save my Pin Bath and Pin Padi!!
RP Friday, 08 March 2024 08:52 PM

You guys elected them now deal with it.
Sal Saturday, 09 March 2024 08:30 AM
Good now the officials cannot play around and need a chairman to get the best from the good for nothing guys
Anthony. R Saturday, 09 March 2024 04:29 PM
Oh my God, a chain snatcher, what an idiotic appointment. Shame
