The Government should take over unclaimed Malwana mansion, money disclosed by Pandora Papers and money defrauded through airbus deal just as the Finance Minister proposed to transfer Rs. 8.5 billion earned by Perpetual Treasuries Limited in Central Bank Bond scam to the Treasury, National Peoples' Power (NPP) MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.

He told Parliament that the proposal to take over PTL funds was praiseworthy and that if the Finance Minister had a genuine intention to take over money earned by corrupt politicians, his proposals and observations should have been made in a broad perspective.

“It is a good proposal to transfer Rs. 8.5 billion earned by Perpetual Treasuries Limited in the Central Bank Bond scam to the Treasury. But, he has forgotten Rs. 35 billion disclosed by Pandora Papers. It was revealed in London that US$2 million was deposited to former SriLankan Airlines chief official’s wife’s account by French Airbus Company when an Airbus was procured by Sri Lanka in 2014. There is a mansion and a plot of land in Malwana which no one claims ownership to. Take over such property also,” he said.

Speaking during the second reading debate of the budget, he said the country has run into poverty where people are struggling to meet their basic needs while the rulers are enjoying their lavish life.

“Sri Lanka is the only country in the world where its people and the country are poor but the rulers are well-off and lavish,” he said.

MP Dissanayake said the corrupt political system should be defeated if Sri Lanka could see any development to it.(Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

What is the use of telling all these things for those who are deaf and blind when in power. Successive govts are doing the maximum damage to the people and they go Scott free.

The corrupt politicians includes your party. In 88/89 you rob banks and stole gold and your leader was caught finally leading a luxury life in diguise.

N SENA Saturday, 20 November 2021 01:19 PM

VERY GOOD SUGGESTION. WILL GOVT ACT?

Karalasingam Sivalingam Saturday, 20 November 2021 01:39 PM

Well said. This is the ideal treasure hunt to recover monies illegally earned to enhance the depleted Treasury coffers.

AC Saturday, 20 November 2021 01:41 PM

We will support you only if the pledge and guarantee given after coming to power to get all looted money and work towards the success of the country.

Can someone knowledgeable highlight the person in charge of the Malwana Property for reader's information please

Pantha Kumaran Saturday, 20 November 2021 04:32 PM

Well said. But who is going to listen. If the government can repossess all the money made illegally by politcians and their familes we will be a rich country.

VJ Saturday, 20 November 2021 05:19 PM

You can scream until the cows come home. The ruling party leaders will continue with their agenda. They are robbing in broad daylight and with impunity, nothing the opposition or the people of this country could do, we can only hope for a divine intervention.

All empty talk, no one will action to do anything against those who have looted public funds.

Anura Nanayakkara Monday, 22 November 2021 09:39 AM

I can still remember your violent killings of very educated and decent people way back in 1971 and again in 1989 periods. You people and the party never did any service to the country, but only continues to criticise every thing.
