SLPP is a party brimming with corruption. All corruption of State Level need to be punished with rigorous imprisonment.

Hope he's thoroughly investigated as he may have earned millions from bribes in the past.

LACK OF BRAINS WHEN MAKING THIS COMMENT. HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF IN THE PREVIOUS GOVTS GOING BACK DECADES IT WAS " WHO ONE KNOWS OR CAN GET THROUGH TO" LICESCES CAN BE EASILY BOUGHT VIA THIS CHAIN!!. NOTHING WAS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE PREVIOUS GOVTS, AS LONG AS ONE KNEW HOW TO USE THE AVAILABLE CHANNELS. UNFORTUNATELY THESE WAYS AND MEANS WERE USED IN EMPLOYMENT ESPECIALLY THE PUBLIC SERVICE, THIS IS WHY THE GOVT HAS TO ENSURE THE HEADS OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE KEEP A SHARP EYE ON THE MIDFITS, UNPRODUCTIVE AND STOOGES AS THE SOONER THEY EXIT THE PUBLIC SERVICE THE BETTER IT WILL BE FOR US ALL.

A Phottuwaa being jailed for corruption shouldn't even be in the news. This is one of the core pillars the party stands on and a value the leaders build their legacy on.

Wait till we hear Namal baby cry out saying "this is political interference" ignoring the fact this man is a SLPP nominee in the upcoming Pradeshiya Sabha elections.

Is this person still contesting? Then become a member like it was before an a criminal MP coming to the parliament from prison cells! This person must be sacked immediately! That is their blood created by Myna and its group! Still people are voting for them!!
