Well done UNP why should a documrnt which is not legal and which casts aspersions on the Prime Minister be made public when it as no valid basis for such aspersions
It is now more and more clear that some serious corruption and misuse of public money in billions has gone on this bond issue. Otherwise Ranil could have referred this to the newly formed FCID or other commissions established to handle such cases.
Ranil gave this investigations to hios own biased people and then still didn’t publish the report. Instead only certain extracts were published which can do no harm to UNP.
Now when the COPE report came out that also was blockedby Ranil. Ranil appears to have corruptly plotted a major theft of money from the central bank using his private friends and now trying every way to hide it.
So by this, trying to fool the people.
Till now, for last 3 months we have lost 59 billions.
It will keep on growing and growing.
The cost for Mattala at 27 Billion only, means we could have built another one.
For Education budget in Sri Lanka only caters with 23 Billion.
This should be taken to the people in another way soon.
All these UNP traitors trying to cover this massive theft done by Ranil’s family friend Arjun Allosius.
His Grandpa, did another massive blow to Central Bank in 1990’s with 500Million.
People should be aware of this.
