’It is now time for President to prove his allegations’: Namal challenges AKD
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'.

Offer Credible Whistleblowers a % of Any Finds Wednesday, 02 October 2024 08:17 PM
AKD and team don’t need to personally investigate how over a short period of time, this family has gathered branded materials and travelling lavishly. All he needs to do is get a team of ex CID and Interpol officers to do the investigation. If the public can shed credibility information which leads to finds of any illegal assets or money under their’s or family members names which they can’t proof on how it was paid, they will get a percentage of the find. Maybe 2% or more if above US Billion and 4% or more if in the US Millions. This might get a few whistleblowers to assist with the investigations.

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?

He’s Playing The Double Sword Thing Thursday, 03 October 2024 08:54 AM
It sure does bother him as they have become redundant. So needs some attention! Maybe he wants the current regime to locate the missing funds so that he’s not the one reporting his family members.

It was RW who took over a collapsed country. What RW did during such a short period of time is commendable. Looks like you have been living in another world. Who has the history of destabilizing the country than JVP/NPP? STOP trying to act like Saints just arrived from heaven.

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???

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.

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.

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.

It is not a matter of proof but even being accused at the levels you operated and flaunted your wealth and power, the public has the worst perception of you. As Singapore's former Premier said, if you are at the top, not going to jail does not mean you are clean. Accusation is enough of a disqualifiication.

To continue from above comments the alternative to bring the culprits to justice is to investigate through I.R.D. how they have a lifestyle with the declared assets and liabilities and INCOME under bribery act and the documents are in the public domain. Now stop beating around the bush and going round the mulberry trees damn well use the existing laws. If necessary bring legislature but I believe present laws are adequate.

The Gov salaries can ill afford three proper meals for a family of your size so from where did you get your money for your lavish lifestyle super cars, weddings, rockets, parties, watches etc. your uncle was called 10% for what. Because businessman we demanded that money for projects and favors. Don’t act innocent.

Why don't you be proactive by showing how your family earned the massive wealth from MP salary? You were rejected by people and do not try for cheap publicity.

Namal’s family robbed the beautiful island paradise right, left , up, down and sideways. Financial mismanagement and nepotism ruined my country. Your uncles, aunties, brothers, sisters, distance relatives, mum and dad were robbed the country. A cleaner in USA was the finance minister in Namal’s family politics. That is why this country came to its knees. People fed up with your family, thatswhy they chased your family away. The highly educated nation in South Asia, elected your dum family to rule us. It will never happen again in Sri lanka. Namal, you go back to school, get a degree and do some work, pay tax to your country. It will prosper. Do not come back to politics to make money. People elected you and your family to serve the people, not serve you and rob our country. Remember, Politicians are public servants. Our people well educated than you and your family. Our people taken a decision to send you and your clan to political wilderness. Thats it mate. No turning back.

Super luxury elder home for senior citizens in Australia. The project is owned by Rosh Jalagge, the Honorary Consul for Sri Lanka in Western Australia appointed by the Rajapaksa govt. The rumor in Sri Lankan circles in Australia is that this is funded by the Rajapaksa family to launder money being held in Australia, including bribes paid to secure an aircraft deal for Srilankan, the details of which were bared by Airbus officials in a case filed against it in the London High Court.

Namal you seem to be in a hurry as an exhaustive investigation should be done as there are many proxies who have contributed to these crimes and to unravel it will take some time as the havens where these funds have been parked should also give their fullest co-operation so that the country will see the criminals who have supported in robbing the public purse. If not for the manipulations by the Rajapakse regime the country would not have faced the predicament of bankruptcy. Towards detecting the slush funds gone into various proxy accounts a forensic audit should be carried out with some of the previous officials at the Auditor general's dept and officials of the banking sector who are privy to this information. Wait and see how the present government will leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom as the public are anxiously waiting in suspense!!!!!!!

That’s a very good deal for you, atleast you can then use that money for all your crazy activities than leave it in Bank account with minimal Interest rates applicable!!??
