What assets are you guys talking about? KP does not have any assets anymore. He is in a safe house until all his assets that are in foreign banks are recovered and all else have been taken and shared as per the rules of war. Bounty from the proceeds of war. NOW why don't "we the people" ask all ministers and top officials to declare their assets?

Double standards. One rule for KP another for SF.

What is the relationship between the security reasons and the assets of KP?. Why can't you explain so called security reasons without bluffing blank words. Truth is, no other reason that KP spent millions for last two elections on behalf of government and now all have become under obligation to KP.

Cannot be disclosed as most of the assets and wealth now already in the pockets of the big guns..Otherwise how come LTTE bosses are now OK and in the Govt??shameless and against all ethics

Maybe there's nothing much left to declare, as KP must have paid a big ransom to enjoy a luxurious life under the protection of the bigwigs in the government. Squeezing KP's funds for their personal benefit is nothing for the rogues who even robbed Tsunami money.

Don't worry about the Gold. Initial 200 KG has become 100 now. Evaporated. According to Dinesh, it is in the process of handing over to the Central bank. You should understand that he being an old man, cannot handover the whole lot at once because he cannot lift 100 Kg alone. It will take time as he is taking piece by piece to the Central bank.

There is nothing like that,. It has to be disclosed. There is no security reson for that . The government owes it to the people. This statement is unaacceptable. Assets have to be disclosed in parliament . These assets dont belong to any one family.

Security Reason! Nice “W” question!!!
Whose security? Pay masters and receivers.
Who are they? LTTE Diaspora, local and international service providers (Weapon dealers and politicians)
What will happen? All involved parties get caught and to be prostituted.
This is the Security Reason!

izy Wednesday, 20 October 2010 08:16 PM

Both of them were elected members of parliament and if need be, they should have been asked to declare their assets BUT KP is a terrorist known the world over and he is UNDER ARREST and IN GOVT control for funding terrorism and also procuring arms and ammunitions So his assets MUST be declared NOT by him but by the PPL who already has control over him and his assets THAT BEING THE GOVERNMENT and this is uttered by a minister hmmmmmmmmmm God Bless Sri-Lanka

I think it's not disclosed not because of security reason but because of it will go to the pockets of some officials.

Do we really know what his assets are! It is naive to believe that KP will disclose all and also naive to believe that the government will be able to trace all of them. KP is playing a double game, colluding with the government with the aim of continuing the Ealam struggle by political means while taking the government for a ride. Gota, being a master planner is trying to net KP. It depends on who will win at the end.

Was it the same reason why UPFA candidate did not declare his assets prior to the election? Or did he have genuine fear of his "Suba Anagathayak"?

Then what the hell government announced saying KP has 7 ships and 600 bank account. IF disclosed Mr family and MP members can not share these assets. may be that's why government will not disclose KP's assets.

spark Wednesday, 20 October 2010 10:32 AM

The question is what is the security reason for not disclosing KP's assets when he is under the full custody of the GOSL? The only reason this wealth is not disclosed is it is going to be used for ulterior corrupt purposes.
