The Municipal Commissioner of the Colombo Municipal Council stated that the garbage mounds found around the city is part of an organized measure to clutter the city.
He added that there has been no evidence to show that the clutter had been dumped by households, and that it had to be part of a deliberate measure taken to pollute the city.
There we go again, what a “BRILLIANT” Yahapalana conspiracy theory !!!!!!
So, who is responsible for the garbage pile up? YP most likely suggests:
(1) the previous Rajapaksa regime or
(2) the JO or
(3) the BBS or, even better,
(4) Tamil Diaspora Groups working in hand with Vigneswaran or
(5) former CB Bank Boss, Cabraal or
(6) the Grease Yakkos
The list is endless.
My dear fellow countrymen and women, lend me your ears; if you can’t beat these Yahapalana Clowns, JOIN THEM!
