Colombo, Oct 02 (Daily Mirror) - Former MP Namal Rajapaksa has challenged President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to prove his allegations that the Rajapaksa regime has hidden billions of dollars in Uganda and other countries.

In response to a video of Dissanayake during his Presidential election campaign, Namal said that the President and his team have been claiming for years that public funds were stolen.

“President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and his team have alleged for years that we have stashed away billions of dollars in Uganda and various countries. It is now time for President AKD to prove his allegations,” Rajapaksa posted on 'X'.

Anura just became the president. He took over a collapsed country. There are other priorities. Give him time. STOP trying to destabilize the country. You and your family destroyed the country and Anura is trying to get it back on track. It bothers the hell out of you doesn't it?

What I cannot understand is that in a country where most politicians have been accused of stealing public funds, one has the audacity to make public speech??? Does this mean that come what nothing or no action will be take against these guys??? Is this message public??? Whether NPP or CPP or DPP comes to power all these guys will go scot free??? I don't get it someone enlighten me

Dear Namal - Don't worry, they will prove it all in time! Uganda was just a carrot for your family to bite on, but the stolen money covered by `shell` fronts are still end-managed by your relations like the Wickramashinas` in the USA or similar family cronies elsewhere. Today, the world is more transparent and even your families` Swiss Bank accounts will eventually be exposed. Investigators will just follow the money or your families extended relation`s activities because they also will get a ransom payment for the exposure! Good Luck with that. By the way, the days of thuggery and intimidating threats were over when you and your family got 2.5%. Rise from the ashes but stop your foolish thuggery. Its gone for good.

Namal is right. AKD and others in NPP must prove their allegations against Rajapaksas or they must withdraw the allegations and apologize.

Anura should not waste his time with these orphans who are chased out by the people. Now he must concentrate on his manifesto to fulfil the promises made to the people who elected him

oh, namal wait, my man, wait, your turn will come, but then don't scream that's political revenge, like your uncles and dada do. BTW why Uncle Basil and Uncle Gota disappeared for holidays or medicals when even an election be known to be lost, Every other time they are healthy and happy in Sri Lanka. also, you and your brothers cousins will need to show how they accumulated so much wealth without being able to show your income sources to buy hotels, build hotels, houses, and vehicles. Simple as that, get ready for the ride my man.

Namal, Anura will start from home. First Bribery will ask you to explain the assets you declared. Thereafter after that investigation we go overseas. Don't be in a hurry. If you went to school you will remember the phrase "Slow

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake just took over his reins. He needs little breathing space. Don’t try “to put the cart before the horse”. Please calm down and wait for your turn. It’s no secret that many have “skeletons in their cupboards. Let the authorities call upon the perpetrators at the right time one by one for a thorough investigation. Any way, we mustn’t forget the fact that “There is no smoke without fire”. Of course, opportunity will be afforded to prove their innocence.

Should it be proved? It is plainly to be seen.

Further to Bandara's comment above not only "for the G.C.E. EXAMINATION" but there should be an investigation to see if you should sit for the LAW examintion = This time in the main hall with all other candidates. best you keep your trap shut and keep your skeletons in your cupboard shut tightly.

Presiden AKD will look into your families looting in time. Even after being comprehensively rejected by the populace, you have the gall to come and excuse. We all know you and your family would have destroyed all evidence like you have done with many other crimes. Just get lost and find a proper job.
