Kiriella Responds To Gota-Maithri Plot To Abuse Bribery Commission

Minister of Public Enterprise and Kandy City Development Lakshman Kiriella responding to a query regarding the Colombo Telegraph report on investigations into alleged corruption said that he has declared the assets of his family in Parliament.

Colombo Telegraph reliably learns that already the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery and Corruption (Bribery Commission) has requested relevant statements from banks regarding the 16 persons and their close family emcees.

“I read your article with interest and you may recall that about 7-8 months ago during a debate relating to Highways Ministry, I declared the assets of my family openly in Parliement in figures. I have also submitted my assets declaration,” Kiriella further said.

    Don’t you remember Kirra bragging in Yahapalana Parliament that his Missus had 40,000 Acres in Balangoda.
    And Kirra’s own 10,000 Acres of Kandy.
    That is serious wealth.. Right .
    Why would such a wealthy Family has to take Santhosams from Aloysious?.
    Also remember Kirra has put 5 family members on the Yahapalana Ministerial Payroll. to take care of Kirra’s big ass Ministries.
    That I guess entitles all Kira’s Relos to free Defenders with Dual A/Cs.
    I mean , Nanos from Hindians can not handle those rugged terrain even in Kandy..
    Wonder how much Kirra’s Baby Girl with BSc in London Economics, get a month?.

        Very correct, I have stopped commenting ‘cos there is no point in voicing our written discontent in a country overtaken by inefficiency, corruption, racism, religious fanaticism and all the rest that is needed to help in making this a failed state.

    Aye! Aye! Sir, you can make any amount of declarations but what is the value of those declarations? You cannot escape from the fact that you are a politician and anything a politician does has to be for his ultimate advantage. “Good wine needs no bush”. People are aware of the very few politicians who have a thing called integrity. Others really should go to the dustbin but the voter is often required to choose the best among the evil. The standard dictum of the Sri Lankan politician is “Make hay while the sun shines”. Some of them say “If you can’t earn for seven generations when you have the opportunity then you are a fool not worth your salt.”

      Dear Oracle,

      He may be quite a charming man actually, but the true test of a man’s charm is how he handles himself when under pressure. Mr. kirielle despite all the purported charm, palpably failed when under the microscope.

      A very poor advertisement he was for the government that day. No charm, no guile, no style whatsoever. He epitomised everything this government is, on that day.

    Bogooollas too to be investigated.
    They pretend to be from an Aristocratic family actually they’re from the Cess Pitt families of the Past.
    Recently as last month the wifey and daughter were called to grace the ” CID walk the talk show” for being nasty to a woman in the western province.
    To make a note here , the wifey Booglls was seen threatening poor women in a Hindu temple premises with her foot wear in the Eastern Province where her BOOGLE HUSBAND had been made A Biggy by the Sillisena.
    Where do these families comes from???
    CROSS BETWEEN MONEY AND GARBAGE COLLECTORS???

      Continuation!!!
      They come from the Ancestors of “Cross between Money lenders and Garbage collectors.”
      That’s why they behave as they behave now their ancestors behaved like village thugs who owned lands ( by cruelty) wealth( by greed)
      village women ( of course by force ,greed, and Lust.)
      We cannot expect good character from any one of them holding high posts presently.
      They’re the products of ” Thugs Ancestry “
      They worshipped different religions and now converted to the so called UN Noble present day Srilankan Seculism Buddhism.
      They’re in front of Lord Buddha asking for pardon for all the sins they have done.
      Bogus lot in expensive designer cloaks.???
      Do you feel sorry for them???

    We seem to have entered albeit unwillingly, an era of public washing of clothes. What is hung out to dry are as dirty.
    Dayasiri started this, quickly followed by SF (only an underwear), then Sujeewa.

    Just the start. Wait for the Emperor’s New Clothes!
    Who ever thought that NCM started this!

    Our shedding tears over the country’s curse is just telling it to the birds who hear and fly away.

    Not very long ago did the Bo KollaKema threw a birth day party running to laks and laks while in New York as his mother land’s ambassador. (an ambassador is an honest man who LIES abroad for his goods of his country). The money spent was none but ours.
    How conveniently and deep low matically was this forgotten by those be in power, as he comes back with dishonours and is made a governor!

    Yahapalanaya at its helm??!!
