If the local government election happens it will get many thugs and thieves in again. Better delay the local government by de-funding the Election Commission until people can vote with their brains again. Best chance for nations capability will be at next general election because candidates will be scrutinized more widely then. No point any election but Presidential or Parliamentary election - where the biggest crooks and lairs who deceive our nation are.

What “INDIAN STYLE ELECTION”?? This is JRJ/RP moulded concept 1988/1990 original??!! Don't degrade our national spirit and aspirations - Original Manape style - no holds barred, “Calendars with Portrait of 1st citizen of Village” - humbly begging “your vote and preference”, for the ultimate time - included with Biryani and quarter bottle of the best JF Wennappuwa Special!!?? Fully funded by “home-grown method”!!??

Genetic disorder of party members

Coffers run dry! Tuesday, 27 September 2022 04:52 PM

We the citizens have been feeding these rogues and criminals all these days, and it is a shame on us. We voted for them, have they done anything for the voters except amassing wealth for them and the kith and kin? Now their coffers have run dry! There will be more incidents like this I am sure.

State recognition with the highest medal and reward should be given to this cop hero. Hats off Sri. You are better than Rajini Kanth.
