Drdesilva :All these probes leads to nothing it is completely pointless and a waste of time and money...No convictions no prisons sentence , this is just a way making the Rajapaksa's look accountable for all the crimes they have committed, all of the billions of SL rupees they have stolen but the Rajapaksa's will never face any kind of real justice...
The billions of rupees they stolen should be handed back to the SL people to help improve the poor people of the country..

Atha Katha Somay :Russel, your question is very clear. Dayasiri has to explain how he got the money and for the purpose and the relevant documents to prove himself. Ranil also had given 20 million to build his house and now Dayasiri is also having mansions all over the island. He has close links with Mina Mahinda, every Tuesdays or Wednesdays he comes to meet MR.

Sokrates :Since when does having a degree mean you are entitled to a government job? Since when does having a degree mean you are qualified for a government job? It seems as if these degree holders have not qualified for a job in the private sector. They are the unqualified rejects, and now want to burden the taxpayer with their lack of qualifications.

Mohan (Dias) :Mr. Dayasiri, very sorry.... now all your wrong deals have come down to AKD's table and it will be opened one by one in due course. Without getting panic, please admit your wrong doings.

Dr. A. S. Siriwardene :Now Dayasiri is very upset as the truth about him is coming out one by one. Though he is in the SJB, he works as a spy to Mahinda Rajapakshe. Anyway, it is clear that he had received money from Arjun Aloysius.

Daya-No-Boru- Putha (I can prove) :Mr. Sooriyaperuma knows pretty well that Dayasiri Jayasekera had received money from Aloysius when he approached him to get some favour. Initially he had given him 23 million and thereafter I don't know how many millions he got. I too was working at the Colombo Stock Exchange and now retired.

Lambert Silva - Senior Journalist :Best thing is to investigate, take prompt action and check her bank accounts and freeze it. For sure, she may have more than 100-125 millions. I know the in and outs of Rajapakshe family as I my cousin is a close associate of Mahinda.

While releasing the US$334 million under the four-year bailout package, the IMF has called on Sri Lanka to ensure meeting the tax collection targets of over Rs 900 billion. However the govt. has decided not to impose new taxes or revise the existing taxes. In this backdrop do you think the NPP govt could achieve the required tax targets?
