Long overdue. He has been closely aligned to SP and has been out to be a runway locomotive or lone horse bricked by the opposition leader. He refused to pick up calls from the president prior to making significant decisions and was nothing but arrogant.

This only proves how corrupt RW is and what extent he goes to protect the corrupt thugs and his goons. The minister did the right thing by taking action for what was right, against a corrupt SLC board. Regardless of Roshan Ranasinghes other business dealings he did the right for Sri Lankan cricket.

In otherwords you are saying that Roshan is not corrupted but rw is. They are all corrupted. One corrupted person taking out another corrupted person will not matter.

Whether we like RR or not, or whether we like RW or not, doesn't make any sense. The saga of corruption and the story of the unnecessary powers of the executive presidency have surfaced again and again. Remove RR, and don't forget to disband the cricket board as well. Otherwise, RW will be able to learn a lesson soon.

OMG ... How many idiots are there commented in this forum. This man should be held primarily responsible for fall of cricket together with the other rogues in SLC. This fellow is the biggest rogue and a biilionire with the blessings of the Rajapakse's. He completely destroyed the plan that was put forward to fix SLC by sacking the board and appointing a Interim committe even before the WC was over. This fellow should have been removed long ack just as Keheliya.

Minister tried googleys and leg breaks to get the President balled out. Instead the Minister got hit for a six! What a surprise to him and I am sure he didn't see that coming! Talking about him being killed when it was his job that got killed! This is drama most enjoyable, especially when the Minister was acting as if he had no skeletons in his cupboard!

Pawan W Monday, 27 November 2023 07:10 PM
Ranil W is the chief guard of the Rajapakse clan. In reality he's the president of the thieves rather than the people of Sri Lanka. His feeble, introverted, and manipulative personality and his past track record clearly evidences that he cannot remain in power for more than about 2 years. It's reasonable to deduce that he has been a spoilt and pampered child in childhood, which has made him heavily vulnerable to emotions when dealing with others.

What happens now to the SLC? COPE and other parliamentary committees have found them corrupt to the core. Roshan Ranasinghe, rightly or wrongly, attempted to clean up the mess, but the present SLC board run by the bookies and underworld is still functioning, thanks to RW, who is definitely in their pockets. His presence during a LPL match sponsored by crooks, is proof of this.

PiCKOfTheLot. Kps, Abd, Sirimal Balusinha and do doo dooo seem to be on the right track amongst some others. I predict this is the END OF THE ROAD for RANIL. If Roshan can prove he had nothing to do with the importation of the vehicle, he will regain his credibility and become an excellent candidate for upcoming ELECTIONS. I believe the Manager of his company had received a GOLDEN HANDSHAKE in this SAGA. I hope Roshan clears his name and joins Sajith, he becomes the PRESIDENT and Sajith the PM, but if ROSHAN is in tow with GOTA and his family he can FORGET about contesting the next elections as the MASSES will send him home, like they did GOTA.
