Ranil & Rajapakshe
Few of srilankans endorsed or believed in a man who was rejected by majority of srilankans and came to parliament through a national list seat then became prime minister of srilanka for the 6th time with only blessings of Rajapakshes.
For the last 2 decades Rajapakshe or Ranil were on PM chair (except 2010 to 2015) and failed to navigate country’s economy in the right path. Both have come to power criticizing each other’s failure. Both are masters in diverting people’s attention into something which were temporarily patched their utter economic/political failures, Religion and Hate were
the tools they have used most to accomplish this.
At present, these tools have become obsolete(at least for the time being) as there’s no economic and political stability, people could not endure the cost of living, rise of social media and youngsters voice against the whole system.
Its not only Rajapakshe’s but from top to bottom of the hierarchy(from president to GS or PS member) fuelled with corruption and misuse of stated wealth.
WHAT’s NEXT
With the broader picture we must stand against to change this and firstly President should step down as he failed. And this seat must be abolished as we have seen how both Maithree and GR become jokers in recent times.
RW has no right to be a PM as he accepted this post against people’s will ( ). At least SJB and NPP did not took as one of their condition was president to step down.
Majority of the current parliamentarians have acted for their self interest over public and could have seen during 9th may incidents.
General elections should be held, and people should elect or vote for people who have zero corruption charges and never misused state wealth. If parliament filled with clean politicians then there will be a system which will serve public interests over politician’s own.
As srilankans we must closely observe how our elected member enact and stand against if they go against their promises.
Don’t believe in one man but with collective number of people who have their heart and soul to make this country beautiful.

Corruptions and Srilanka!
There are politicians & businessmen, dealmakers, state officials, officials of investigative authorities, media stake holders, and in some places where the law is supposed to work, who are involved in such corruption. and some are as follows,
*Former Sri Lankan Ambassador to the US Jaliya Wickramasuriya, who is cousin of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit in the US, where he is accused of stealing $ 3.3 million as “commission money” from the $ 6.2 million that was provided by the Government of Sri Lanka for the purchase of an embassy headquarters. He has accepted in a US court that he took this commission, and the court is due to reach a decision in this regard, this May.
*Former Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa and Thirukumar Nadesan, the husband of the latter’s niece Nirupama Rajapaksa, who was recently named in the Pandora Papers as having wealth of $ 160 million. Much of Basil Rajapaksa’s property is in the name of Nadesan. A famous corruption case is the ‘Gin-Nilwala’ deal. Usually, when an election is announced, ministries only engage in necessary payments. However, then-Irrigation Ministry Secretary Ivan De Silva had, a month prior to the Presidential Election, given a total of about Rs. 4,000 million to a company in China.
One of these payments was made a day before the Presidential Election. The Chinese company released $ 5 million to Ruth International, which was revealed to be owned by Nadesan. Some of this money finally ended up at a local bank and was used to buy the Malwana land owned by Basil Rajapaksa. Other lands were purchased by Basil Rajapaksa, including in Matara, valued at over millions of Sri Lankan rupees.
*Sajith Premadasa- This is a scam of Rs. 3 billion. There were 146 expenditure heads that he had spent without any approval. There is clear evidence given by the officials that this took place on the direct orders of Premadasa.
*Namal rajapakshe - ‘Krish’ deal, NR has accepted that businessman Nimal Perera had given him Rs. 60 million. Namal Rajapaksa had said that he gave that money to Sri Lanka Rugby. However, all officials in the Sri Lanka Rugby have said that they did not receive that money.
*misappropriation of funds during the construction of two hospitals in Hambantota and Nuwara Eliya- The total construction cost was at EUR 82 million for the two hospitals. However, EUR 4.33 million was transferred to Sabre Vision Holdings, registered in the British Virgin Islands, and owned by Perera via a company in the Netherlands. A further $ 550,000 was also transferred to that account by the Australian company, Aspen Medical. An Australian Broadcasting Corporation documentary released this week about Aspen Medical included details about this transfer of funds to Perera. The documentary further named Perera as the “bagman” for the Rajapaksa family.
*Airbus deal- $ 16.6 million was initially sent to former SriLankan Airlines CEO Kapila Chandrasena’s wife’s account in Brunei, following which the money was then sent to three Sri Lankan accounts, one of which belonged to Perera.
*Bond scam- The foundation for the Treasury Bond scams was laid with Rajapaksa and constructed with Wickremesinghe. Many tried to hide the Treasury Bond scams; even those who are speaking against corruption now and from the Parliament.
* Maithripala sirisena- Sirisena won the Election on 8 January 2015, and met the businessman linked to the Avant Garde Security Services (Pvt.) Ltd., the next day, on 9 January 2015. Thus, this ring of corruption cannot be merely beaten by a government change, but through a public struggle that is steadfastly against corruption

Today, a child does not have a packet of milk powder, while people are dying in queues for essential goods & with lengthy power cuts, all due to this corruptions and mismanagement of public wealth by the people in power for the last 74 years but specially for the last 2 decades.
