This big crook, Basil should be behind bars. In usa he was working as a stock clerk in a department store. And our ignorant people wants him back after robbing our country. How pathetic it could get. Only suitable place would be in jail for all the crimes he had committed

Are you with Ranil or Basil. What will happened to your aspirations of becoming the Prime Minister. What economic stability are you talking about. The country is still bankrupt, you haven't paid the bills, living on borrowed money that is not any kind of stability.

Excellent news. He can be presidential candidate to educate people about living healthy next door to the gambling den. Of course he can build foreign escorts next door to it .

I think Kappam Thunga is the best candidate to develop this country! All must support him - He Can force people to pay Kappam and still hiding a minister position while eating Pin Bath instead of Hira Bath! If this man comes all can demand Kappam and escape of the legal system if there is one in Siri Langa!

What a joke these "kappam politicians" want a foreigner to help them to win an election. When a foreigner cannot contest an election how can this foreigner organize a political party?

Unresolved Cases will Defeat your Party Thursday, 29 February 2024 07:21 AM

You guys still have the presumption that everything being done and have been done by your regime is acceptable. The unresolved murder and corruption cases is so blatantly been ignored and this will result in your ultimate defeat very soon. Lately it’s been not following the constitution too.
