Scrutinise the newly rich, because there are too many who have become too rich too soon. This man is a classic example.

Who was appointed to what position is a dilemma! Monday, 25 March 2024 04:33 PM

This man could not have done the fraud alone. At least two more should be complicit to the crime, as a cheque has to be signed by 2 authorized officers. In the meantime, head aches of Rajapassas is increasing with more of their henchmen in the net. A case of bogus passports involving two other guys is screaming.

It seems there's a high probability that a NPP government will come to power in the elections to come. If that's the case, the people's wish is that the wealth and assets of all the current and recent cabinet ministers, presidents, PMs, all ruling party politicians and their close family members and allies should be investigated for misappropriation and corruption.

Not necessary to wait for the Court decision. Confiscate everything he and his family own. Such basta*ds must be given lifelong punishment. Enough is enough.
