SARATH FONSEKA SURPRISED HOW POLITICIANS WHO NEVER HAD A GAINFUL JOB BUILDING MANSIONS TODAY
Onlanka News – by Walter Jayawardhana
Speaking about the rampant corruption in the country Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka said at a meeting at Kottawa he was often reminded of his grandfather who built a house with three rooms. His father who became a headmaster of a school also was able to build a house with three rooms for the family.
He said when he became the army commander he too was able to build a house for the family with three rooms.
Recently, he was travelling with his wife and saw a big mansion. On inquiry he came to know it belonged to a former revolutionary member of a political party who claimed to be fighting for the downtrodden masses. He is no longer in his former party and has become a powerful minister. His mansion was surrounded by sentry posts and a six to fourteen feet high wall. “Each sentry post was bigger than my three roomed house,” Fonseka said.
One naturally inclined to think how a man who did not have any other business than a little communication house where a telephone was rented became so rich, the former commander of the army queried.
“We must build a country where the people are not compelled to kneel down before politicians,”Fonseka said.

when i was on the way by walking, i saw a Audi A6 car stoped in a halt by side of the highway and the driver was drinking a king coconut.After a while I was talking about that nice car with my colleague, he said that he is the owner of the vehicle.I was surprised and stunned by thinking of that person’s personality.Then after I came to know that he is some kind of involvement with one of the ruling party’s minister.
