Ravi must be thinking that he could get away from bond scam by becoming a legislators. Hope NPP government will not allow him to get away

Here's the guy as finance minister then didn't know who's paying the rent for his luxurious condo he was living. can you believe that he was the finance minister then. The statement by Ravi K. that he didn't know who's paying his rent became the joke of the Century!! Yeah.

Even after getting thrashed from Sri Lankan voters, New Democratic Front has not learnt any lesson.

If these people cannot even govern their own party, it is time to fold the two parties. RW is behind all this no doubt. Now all can see how they operate. Sad part is SJB is no better. The field is open an opportunity is there to form a new force. Perhaps the revival of LSSP. Peole need to realize that the old cronies and crooks have no followings except fot paid goons. Sad end to UNP and SLFP. One persom MEP does not count.

Something is fishy or really wrong with the system. How can he select himself and present as a National List candidate? Is the Election Commission nuts? or there is no law for this type of arrogance? He must be using a loophole to access parliament from the back door.

this shows how well these losers read the room. They have no respect for people, but this is a huge advantage for the NPP as a political party, as others are just a bunch of stupid politicians with corrupt pedigrees. but as a country, we are losing; we expect both government and opposition to act in good faith.

After a nearly perfect clean reset, it looks like a few 'horus' managed to wriggle back in again.

Inclusion of someone who has been accused of high-level corruption in the National List shows that even after a devastating defeat, New Democratic Front led by Ranil Rajapaksa has not learnt any lessons.

Whether it is RaviK or Rajapaksha's or RW or whoever, rather than accusing people of being crooks or "horras", why don't people who accuse others go to the CID and provide them with proof of the thefts?

"The gazette was issued despite the NDF claiming that no decision had been made by the party to nominate Karunanayake"…............. Hahahaha...... So called experienced team at work.

Looks like a deceptive game yet again by old RW to get another master crook who can never win a peoples mandate back to parliament. Let us hope that RW at least has the nobility like CBK never to crawl back as a MP like MR and Sirisena who unsurprisingly did so after holding the office of President.

If you have time you go and file a plaint. Investigations has already revealed that Ravi, Arjun, Mahendrans are big time rogues. SLPP and Gas cyclinder does not have a single good fellow and therefore anybody appointed is a misfit for the parliament.

Most likely engineered by someone behind the scenes to create dissention in the grand old party. Wonder who's invisible hand is at work here .....?

The parliamentarians did not sweep the parliament effeciently. Once again, a CORRUPT and RUBBISH guy tipped to enter CLEAN parliament, it is really pathetic.

If EC is independent, this can't happen. Tuesday, 19 November 2024 10:59 AM

I am pretty sure president Anura is happy with this and so would instruct to take no action against this. Because he can keep claiming opposition is full of rogues and thieves instead of receiving genuine criticisms.

RaviK's inclusion proves that HE is the guy with the documents to prove certain things. Not Gammanpila, Weerawanse, nor RW. Also proves that RaviK may actually be Above The Law ! Meanwhile, RW is planning and organizing for Aragalaya 2025 which will be called the "L-Board galaya".

I think Seeya, who is the party leader, told him to appoint himself. They are dear partners in the central bank crime

He is still answerable to the public and the courts for the Alyosius boy's extraordinary gift of a luxury apartment to this rogue in the aftermath of the Bond Scam. Keep him in the parliament so that NPP could continue to question him of the bribe that he has taken to set up the scam. Let his self-nomination be his noose that he used to hang himself.

Yes. The "experienced" team at NDF don't know their own members nominated themselves to the position. I agree,what's the use of the so-called NDF "experience" label, which includes RW Seeya ? They are just as L-Board and clueless !!

Good strategy. Government needs a useful stooge to blame if/when things go wrong. Now there is "Readymade Ravi" for the job !

Finally Ranil seems to have realized one of the most respinsible for his defeat was that utter incompetant Sha-gala fellow.His sheer jealousy and sabotage tactics prevented hard working ,loyal UNP stalwarts from giving their 100% to unite both UNP and SJB and defeating the Red Menance.Rumour has it a couple of his ' boys' were plants of NPP

How come supposedly super-experienced Ranil did not know anything about appointment of this crook? So Ranil too is a L-Board Politician.
