Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, Yositha Rajapaksa today denied rumors that he was trying to secure a stake in the domestic gas business.

He said he does not own any gas company and there was a fake propaganda spreading to tarnish his image.

Yoshitha, the son of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa told Daily Mirror that such stories had been fabricated to bring the government into disrepute .

He said it was yet another blatant fabrication similar to the one that he owned a golden horse. (Kelum Bandara)

No one needs to fabricate anything to bring your government into disrepute, because you guys are doing an amazing job at digging your own grave.

Owning, controlling or even having an interest in the holdings of a business, directly or indirectly through connected party or parties incorporated or otherwise are different ways of making wealth!

This family was not involved in any private business while in public life in any previous occasion. And therefore we can believe this guy's statement.

It is not true, must be just gas.

Be fair Thursday, 12 August 2021 09:10 PM

Absolutely..... NO COMMENT

Just like Basil Bappa denied ownership of Malwana Mansion, the easiest way for him is to deny any involvement and continue with Medamulana tradition of denials.
