Ha Ha,
This a joke.
Why did the Hon AG order the arrest of the CB Gov and Fin Min 2005-2015 who caused significantly higher losses (according to Forensic Report)?
We know Ajit Nivaard Cabarala was CB Chief in that period and we know who the Hon Minster for Finance was in that period.
Dappula, arrest them too, my dear AG !
