This idiot is now making announcements. He and all knew she is not a SL citizen and let public money wasted in millions to run the court case. Now you know how many dual citizenship holders in the parliament. They al also ineligible to be MPs. You wait on that as well until a court reveals who they are. You should rot in hell.

I must say SL court system is slowly gaining some respect locally and internationally now by giving really good judgements. Against former presidents, economic saboteurs, IGP (still IGP) now the Government Ministers in this case. These are the tings that will drive people's trust and confidence on the legal system. Well done!

....One would assume in confidence that she would have pay back all her salaries, pension entitlements, costly perks etc. during her stay as Member of Parliament. That's the law!

Another good judgement. The dramas we see in SL; dual citizenships, CB robberies, visa scams, criminals sitting in Parliament, people with convictions being appointed as IGP and former Presidents being found guilty of Easter Sunday issue and economic sabotage, etc etc. How many of these have been punished? At least now this person can't sit in Parliament as a punishment. Who gave Diana the SL/diplomatic passport? Where is the punishment for that person? Has Sirisena paid his full fine imposed by courts?

She has to comply with the Supreme Court verdict. Further she can’t go beyond that Thus one thing she has to memorise that the retribution is above everything
