These poor servants won’t get their salary

Ram Friday, 25 November 2022 08:16 PM

Who paid ? can the official receiver of the payment confirm as to who paid with acceptable proof

Sam Silva Friday, 25 November 2022 08:30 PM

The aviation chairman is Rajapaksa appointee from USA. He would have paid his masters bill.

Does is mean that no one has taken care of the bill yet ?

Lala Friday, 25 November 2022 09:42 PM

Why this confusion. Please check with V I P lounge staff ??

So he left without paying, why isn't he arrested? He is a civilian not a politician

SL politicians have unwanted benefits from poorman! They must be reduced by 90%. They do nothing - insult and do anything against people - they must be punished as usual if there is a LAW in this country!!

Who authorised BR to be welcome through the VIP lunge?

Sokrates Saturday, 26 November 2022 08:07 AM

An evil that is often found in Sri Lanka. It starts with the policeman who doesn't pay in the small shop or in the brothel, through Excise officers who drink for free in restaurants and health inspectors who don't pay for their meals in canteens. Mahinda doesn't pay the CTB bill for buses he hired for the election campaign and Basil now doesn't pay for his "VIP" reception. The whole country is corrupt from the bottom to the top.

60000 is not a big amount these days.

Public inquiry needed to catch the culprits for misusing the system, be punished this kind of things never happen in west, civilization.

Oh my goodness, our favorite commentators are back in business. This is about $175. Other day, I had to pay $170 at a regular restaurant for a dinner of 5 people - with no drinks. Send me the bill, I will pay, no big deal!

Go directly to Mr Upul Dharmadasa of Aviation Authority. He would know the answer.

Kaputupala Udinpala Sunday, 27 November 2022 03:14 AM
