    When they know that the rulers are robbing they too join and the hapless public gets poorer by the day. What is this compared to the worth of the three RAJAPAKSA BROTHERS WITH BOGUS QUALIFICATIONS. MUNTA HENA IS THE SLOGAN OF THE POO.

    He is too greedy and didn’t cut commission to customs. In bankrupted countries these are very normal and will happen daily.
