The National People's' Power (NPP) MP Vijitha Herath today urged the Government to reveal the actual owner of the Rosetti Ltd., the Company which was set up by former parliamentarian Nirupama Rajapaksa and her husband Thirukumar Nadesan in the Jersey Island as exposed by the Pandora papers.

He told Parliament that the Government could not keep quiet on the incident claiming that it was a personal account and that the Government has a responsibility to educate the people on this matter.

He said the Government should reveal who had the official registration of Rosetti Ltd. and whether the bank account connected to it was under the name of Nirupama Rajapaksa or Thirukumar Nadesan or if it was a joint-account.

"According to Pandora Papers, the account was opened in 1991. The Money laundering Act was enacted in Sri Lanka in 2006. It should be revealed whether money had been channelled to this account after the Money laundering Act was enacted. How much money has been channelled and how the money has been channeled," he said.

The MP said several individuals such as Vidya Amarapala were listed in such papers for similar incidents and said this was the first time where a politician was listed in an incident of this nature.

"The previous Government did not take any action when Vidya Amarapala's name was revealed. He fled to Australia and the incident went uninvestigated thereafter," he said.

He said the Government should reveal its stance whether action would be taken against the culprits under Money Laundering Act, if money had been channeled to the particular account after 2006.(Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

THE GOVT WILL BE SILENT OVER THIS MATTER

The stated policy of this government is not to involve international observers to probe internal matters as there are local mechanisms in place and would foreign countries then allow the rulers here to investigate wealth amassed by citizens of this country even if he or she is a cousin of the clan and this issue will definitely go to the dustbin before someone tries to politicize it and will the 6.9 million people let the government fall as this matter is trivial for them?

We are aware of a guy in USA who was involved with some of the southern water projects in Srilanka who built his entire luxury wealth.

Whether Ranil robbed or Rajapaksas robbed , those belong to our country. We are really flabbergasted in the govt's dumb character before this grand expose!

Sri Lanka was once ahead of Singapore and Malaysia and many south asian countries. Today, those countries are thousands of miles ahead of Sri Lanka. Anyone can figure out why.

Now they are trying to pin the royals on the YP! How funny it gets? Now people don't drink milk and don't cook with gas.

No funds to increase the salaries of teachers that they have been justly deserving for decades, but plenty to engage in nefarious activities. The proud record of both regimes.
