Wimal is definitely from his wealth positions finding means outside his MP salary. Unless Wimal can show legal agreement for him getting 10% from contractors getting government contracts it's bribery. The 225 have to take a stand about commission agreements too, as even if legal, it's still a form of corruption even if not pure cash bribe under the table.

Weerawansa complain about dual citizen so much I always suspected he had an another self-serving money earning game happening. No patriot would complain about Sri Lankan also having another citizenship unless they themself have crooked heart to do crooked deeds.

Wimal only ever sought Minister posts to enrich himself through illegal means. Fools who voted for him to become MP should reliase their mistake and donate 75 million to government to make up for causing all the losses to the nation by having him being an MP. When he tried to steal JVP material and was kicked out it was already obvious he's had criminal leanings.

What is 75 million as all his wealth? As no big deal Azath Sally said to media that he invested 80 million at Thilini Priyamali. Anyone going to ask from where he got it?

If judiciary is independent he will be jailed and the properties acquired be confiscated but majority people of this country keep SL poor by selecting people to rule under racism basis

Wimalaya also had Daisy Achchi and and Donald Seeya who gave him a lot money and a fully completed flat. So, what is wrong in accepting them, under the poverty situation Wimlaya came into politics? Now his god father Mahinda is suffocating and cannot breath. Otherwise MR will come with a glass of milk. What a pity!

Chaps, please note all the money Wimal made are genuine one. Wimal is well educated and he knows how to make money. Wimal was taught very well by his bosses how to make money.

Can any of us having a normal job, even if well paid, make 75 million in 6 years? Public officer or public representative, he has screwed us all big time. The beauty is how they are trying to defend this corrupt big mouth scoundrel and on top of that it is a Presidents Counsel.

All MPs are public servants. Further why raise objection Weerawansa. If you are honest face the hearing and come out honourably

If this low level uneducated buffoon can amass disproportionate wealth in such a short time, think of what the other sharks like MaRa and Basil would have done? This buffoon is only good at flaming the ethnic divide. Please show one good decision he made during his power for the good of this country? Please strip him of all his ill-gotten wealth and send him to RI throw away the keys.

Once upon a time, you were loafing on the streets with a torn sarong and a torn Tee Shirt and later looting the banks when you were with JVP and now you are a billionaire within 3-5 years, how comes man?

so he is only challenging the maintainability of the case under the pretext of public representative Vs public official, and not about denying accumulating wealth beyond known sources of income

"President's Counsel Shavindra Fernando appearing for Wimal Weerawansa argued that charges filed against his client under Bribery Act cannot be maintained since his client is not a public officer but a public representative" Idiot, what is the difference between a Public Officer and a Public Representative? A Public Representative is a Public Officer working for the Public and stealing Public Funds.

Weerawansa, whatever said and done you robbed the public property being under the garment of Mahinda. How many vehicles belonging to your relations were hired to SEC for higher rates without even calling for tender and how many millions you made out of this deal itself.

You forged the passports and birth certificates of yours and your wife's, moreover you looted and built garment factories in your wife's name, and you have mansions in Colombo, Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya and Bandarawela. We can prove it with documents Sir.

Public officer or public representative, you are paid by the public to serve the public. What BS excuse is the Counsel coming up with. It is clear as day, that the 75 million was not from his salary. Stop defending these suckers and just put him behind bars. He made his political careers sucking up to the Rajapakses with his racial big mouth.

Fools still think his political masters, partners and well wishers can object and avoid their ill fate with the support of tear-gas trend. They are more corrupt than gel-wansha.
