A result of 66th convention. Sirisena doesn't know what will be his fate at 2020.

The Sri Lankans know that they did not pick an angel to be president, but they sure knew this man is cleaner than the rest of pack.

I think after Wijayadasa Rajapakse's fate, Perahera Started, will wait and see how it goes..

He will be given bail soon and the case will drag without a hearing. First to arrest was Basil R and the hearing has still not started

He will have to change his name to ASARANA from SARANA.

Before the arrest his medical condition should have been checked becacuse all our politicians end up in hospitals after the arrest.

He was unbelievably corrupt at local level. Bit like Mervyn used to extorting money for every business in his electorate
