Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said today that Sri Lanka should now go to Panama to find Sri Lankan owned money.
There are media reports, that the government is awaiting information on the alleged involvement of Sri Lankans in offshore financial dealings as revealed in the Panama Papers of the law firm Mossack Fonseca.
“Now, we all have to go to Panama City to find whether there is Sri Lankan owned money. That revelation was also made by another Fonseca wasn’t it?” he asked.
He made this remark when leaving the media briefing held at Temple Trees on the progress of the three-day China visit.
However the government has not yet made an official statement with regard to any investigation launched into the matter. (Piyumi Fonseka)

Without making cheap statements PM must show results 15 months after new President and 8 months with new Parliament. People are getting fed up with this set up also.

RW keeps talking. It's good at least we'll discourage the new budding thieves if we can't find the plundered funds by the previous regime. via DM Android App

First try to find our money available within the country?

“Now, we all have to go to Panama City" - clarify what you mean by "WE ALL" . Please don't talk of this issue in lighter vein.- sorry, your remark appears frivolous, - No other country head uttered such a "WE ALL" statement , but instead, they are going ahead with their investigations without much "drum beating" , . So far , in addition to your remark -- This Govt (for which we all voted) is on NAto Mode.on this major exposure (note the lower case letters for "to" - meaning only occasionally "talk only")

For 1.5 years you guys have been calling the former regime rogues but still cannot prove a single point. I'm not saying that they are innocent. I'm just asking you guys to actually stop the the talk and walk the walk.Ultimately you guys are just making them more popular than they were.

Sri Lanka was not included in the list of countries tied with panama papers!!! This is load of rubbish coming of Ranil as usual!!
Rom Monday, 11 April 2016 04:56 AM
Well it's readily available and on request rather wasting taxpayers funds for a joy ride to Panama , besides it will be a wild goose chase even if you find any !
