    Don't talk rubbish, after you get caught, know one is there to claim it, likewise what happened to Malwana property , these people thing all are idiots.

    KawumKing Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:27 AM

    We don’t expect you to say that you are innocent.. it’s something you would obviously say. Maybe around 70% of the population would believe this, but the rest of the 30% aren’t fools, and are in fact laughing at you lot!

    Anil Fernando Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:30 AM

    He should explain how he acquired 160 m $ in assets.

    neil Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:34 AM

    Let a commission be appointed. In this corruption rampant country , let just have solid uncontroversial honest and professional ethical background so that report will be acceptable to the society.

    Suren Sarathkumara Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:35 AM

    What a convenient set of words!

    Sunil Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:37 AM

    We have an old adage in Sinhala: "even the man who climbed the kithul tree had an excuse".

    Shivantha Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:39 AM

    Daisy achchi gave them the money

    Buba Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:42 AM

    Hay come on buddy return the innocent people's stolen funds back to the treasury.

    Ram Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:50 AM

    President will take all steps to exonerate this man. A Parliamentary panel consisting of 50% opposition members could be a better bet to get the stuff out

    Citizen Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:51 AM

    Definitely you're innocent, no second thoughts about it.. But the Ali baba and the 40 thieves are behind you...

    Ohgod Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:54 AM

    The question before the public is how you got such a huge amount of money and you have not been accused by our govt. Its revealed by Pandora papers and if you both are innocent you must get them to apologise by them or take legal action against them.

    Juanis Perera Wednesday, 06 October 2021 02:40 PM

    Of course you ALL are innocent. There is absolutely no corrupt people in Sri Lanka. We believe you 100% and all future inquiries will prove that. Theruwan saranai

    Vadivelu Yogaratnm Wednesday, 06 October 2021 02:46 PM

    Every political thief is innocent in great Lanka.

    DJ Wednesday, 06 October 2021 03:05 PM

    This is a matter for the CID to investigate not a retired judge.

    Shiva.Sundar Wednesday, 06 October 2021 03:08 PM

    We are all in the game together!

    jayantha de silva Wednesday, 06 October 2021 03:18 PM

    this letter is ideal for lankan voters

    AC Wednesday, 06 October 2021 03:19 PM

    Ahh ahh here he comes out to defend his innocence. It’s not only him and nirupama, more name will be out soon.

    Kps Wednesday, 06 October 2021 03:25 PM

    Same retired judge can investigate the Malvana Property.

    Chux Wednesday, 06 October 2021 06:04 PM

    It doesn’t say in bank papers

    Chandana Walgama Wednesday, 06 October 2021 07:50 PM

    You all are innocent including Rajapaksa's and the goons. The rascals are the poor ignorant Sri Lankans!

    Dee Wednesday, 06 October 2021 09:05 PM

    Totally! Totalled!

    Malanie Perera Wednesday, 06 October 2021 11:51 PM

    Did that same guy who gave Aunty Daisy the bag of gems deposit this money in your account?

    cheers Thursday, 07 October 2021 02:02 AM

    this statement will hurt unp,sjb,jvp,slmc,tna as they all have now become political scapegoat's in our country

    Rex Thursday, 07 October 2021 05:22 AM

    INNOCENT STILL PROVEN GUILTY NO SWEET LITTLE BABIES

    Kekille King Thursday, 07 October 2021 05:58 AM

    NIDOS KOTA NIDAHAS ! .

    Irodaya Thursday, 07 October 2021 06:40 AM

    Yes. President and Prime Minister will clear you. Don't worry.

    samson de silva Thursday, 07 October 2021 07:58 AM

    The Investigative Journalists' International Consortium (IJIC) must be crazy to pick on two innocent people out of the Sri Lankan population of 22 million. These rogues have the audacity to even suggest who should investigate. Let me also suggest a couple of names; Sarath N. Silva or Mohan Peiris. They are sure to serve justice, as we have seen in the past "Hiragedarata yawiya yuthu minissu Raja gedarata yewwaa" Believe me, nothing will happen this time too. Give a couple of months. All this will be forgotten and Rajapaksas will continue to ride the merry-go-round, thanks to the idiotic slaves of SL. By the way, don't be surprised to see Nirupama (Pandora-Akka) back in the parliament, soon.

    Mushi Thursday, 07 October 2021 08:11 AM

    You are innocent. We are fools always...

    Ranaweera Thursday, 07 October 2021 08:13 AM

    There is too much corruption and it has become no longer affordable. Corruption starts from top to bottom and bottom to the top. But at the same time , people are also fighting to be religious. Very contradicting behaviours. Thanks to these journalists , one day we will have less corruption.

    Derique Laurens Thursday, 07 October 2021 08:44 AM

    Where there is smoke...there is fire...

    Jacoob local foreign Thursday, 07 October 2021 08:45 AM

    Should the investigating mechanism to be local or foreign since the authority is your massina , pal Nades ...

    Andrew Silva Thursday, 07 October 2021 08:55 AM

    Tell it to the hair tied Chinese.

    Lion Thursday, 07 October 2021 09:11 AM

    Your innocence is being blasted by the opposition in the parliament with facts and figures.

    Premalal Perera Thursday, 07 October 2021 09:12 AM

    Appoint an infamous Rajapakse "independent inquiry" but it would be so much easier to get a Presidential pardon. Nadesen took his time to issue the denial. The family would have been busy weighing up all their options.

    kudson Thursday, 07 October 2021 09:30 AM

    the death penalty is a must for white collar criminals

    Sunil Dahanayake Thursday, 07 October 2021 11:21 AM

    Please do not come to Australia as We will make a formal complaint to the Australian Federal Police to arrest you.

    chandra thiyagalingam Thursday, 07 October 2021 11:34 AM
