Were you the minister of agriculture during Gotas Govt ? Do you know the damages you did to the farming community ?You cannot escape by saying it was by the president. Then why were you the minister for that subject ? If you oposed it you should have resigned at that time. If you would have done that you would have got the highest no of votes now. Too late now people are cusing. Try to do something good to the people with the money you earned in this 30 years. Good luck.

This damage is not only him, but all those who debated and passed it in parliament and got it approved it. Also all those who studied and did the proposal. Wonder how the funds were released?

Thank you for making the good decision for the people and the country. Pls stay away from the politics. Yes you worked hard decades now the Nawalapitiya has turned to mini singapore.

Very good new indeed. But whatever you choose to do, don't make money illegally through deals. Make sure you can declare your assets without any fear.

Ranil gave them 2y extension with his foolish idea of protecting rajapakshas. He even raised government sector salaries expecting their votes and it backfired too. Current government should not raise any salaries of the cunning government sector individuala as they are famous for defeating anyone who gives them salary hikes. lol

Complete rejection by Voters brought him retirement from Politics doesn't mean he is clear from all the wrong doings while engaged in active politics . All of those complains must be investigations and must be bring justice to Sri Lankan general Public .

A Supporter of MA Sunday, 17 November 2024 04:25 AM

Mahindananda Aluthgamage as then Minister of Agriculture strongly supported President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa's efforts in replacing chemical fertilizers by organic fertilizers which largely contributed to the fall of GR's Government and eventually leading to a strong NPP Government. NPP must appreciate MA's efforts by awarding him a national honour.

Not a retirement. People rejected you 100%. You abused the people provided power to serve the country. You came to the parliament as a normal working class person, after several years you were super rich. How? Tell us what was the commissioned you earned from that rejected fertilizer shipload?

Be happy you will be just another forgotten face in history, Sunday, 17 November 2024 08:57 AM

Be happy that you will be just another forgotten face in history, unless the legal authorities decide to investigate your ill-gotten wealth. If that happens, you will be joining a whole list of criminals who looted the nation. You may find a lot of old buddies in that list.

Chulan Sunday, 17 November 2024 09:52 AM

NPP should not stop investigating how he made wealth just because he says retire which will be surely till next elections .

He has earned enough of the peoples money for the rest of his life.Should be investigated for all crimes committed like the fertilizer shipment and other crimes he is involved in. No sympathy no mercy.
