Excellent Yahapalanaya,
Why not include Mankolla Mahendram and his son-in-law who made a crisp SLRs 9 billion overnight?
As usual, another fraud and a investigation. This is all nonsense, no arrest made, just get questioned and you can go home. The present government is only about 60 days old and are already involved in fraud and neopotism. After 100 days of governance, the present government will beat MR’s wealth.
