Posted by Editor on April 25, 2015 - 9:27 am
The Colombo Magistrate’s Court today issued notice on 27 persons including 10 UPFA Parliamentarians to appear before the court on May 8 on contempt of court charges, after they violated a court order and staged a protest opposite the bribery commission.
Prior to the protest, the court issued an order banning protests in front of the Bribery Commission. Despite the court, they protested in support of former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa who was present at the Bribery Commission yesterday to give a statement.

The main opposition party is in total disarray.. Some want power and its perks. They are so greedy and are prepared to sacrifice anything just to stay one more day in power. Ranil knows it best and is reaping the maximum out of the situation.
It is fine. Everything in this world is replaceable – specially politicians and parties. It is time for the name SLFP ( and associated walawwa) to die and a much leaner and stronger and young party full of energy will emerge in its place. Then CBK will realise when she set out to destroy MR, she did not realise the final outcome. *onil’s days seems numbered already. That is why he is so afraid of going for the general election, but talking about the ‘vast mandate’ he got from the SL people to govern.
Hey cynics (AUJ and Indra),
Whatever said about Prez MY3 and “*onil”, there is definitely a sense of freedom in the air. A former cabinet minister who is now recuperating in the Merchant Ward at taxpayer’s expense owns a Mansion in California valued at US$45 million. Americans who have lived in America for over 4 generations and own swathes of land, still cannot enjoy such luxury.
How did this ex-Minister who became an American citizen less than 10 years ago, own such a glorious mansion?
I encourage that lady, the boss of the FCID, to ask this question form the ex-minister when she bumps into him next. These guys, the R Family, what do they think of us, the citizens of Sri Lanka? Do they think we are all dumb-wits incapable of thought?
This ex-minister lounging in the Merchants Ward, has been a Minister for 9 years and the max he could have earned as a wage is LKR8.1m which is approx. US$60k.
If Onlanka would allow me, I can provide a link to the ex-Minister’s residence in California. These stupid’s believe they were great leaders; they looted wealth and sad to say, even the youth amongst their clan, joined in the looting. Who else could have US$600m in a bank account in Dubai?
That’s their problem. They believe all of us are amude-wearing peasants whop never have seen a greenback.
What our country is respect; respect each and every individual as a citizen who has been blessed with a brain to think. Don’t assume we are stupid’s.
