@BizColombo Well Amali maybe you're Colombo elite but the country is stable, we're doing well macro economically, we're carefully navigating an international nightmare, corruption is down massively (starting at the top) and the country is safe. Yeah those clowns' votes helped. Don't forget

My father, who worked at the Coconut Development Authority in the ’70s through to the ’90s, would have been very proud to see this if he was alive today. A man who dedicated 30+ long years to the industry. I grew up listening to him talk passionately about the crop’s potential

Wonder why the @DailyMirror and @DailyFT studiously avoided Namal Rajapaksa’s degree scandal in their print editions today after defending him online yesterday.
Sri Lanka’s newest news portal, @ExaminerLK, drops a bombshell on @PresRajapaksa’s 80th birthday, questioning his MP son @RajapaksaNamal’s academic and professional credentials. Degree in doubt, law entrance under fire.

Just as a donkey follows a herd of cattle saying, “I too am a cow, I too am a cow,” yet this does not make him a cow, so too a certain monk follows the monk community saying, “I too am a monk, I too am a monk,” yet this will not make him a virtuous monk. ~ Buddha, Gadrabha Sutta

No degree certificate in Namal’s Law College file, admission breaches entry rules. Nirmala Kannangara unearths new evidence from the UK and Sri Lanka, suggesting @RajapaksaNamal wasn't eligible for law college admission in the first place. https://t.co/0tuP2njCaa

Unlike nepotism, which is easy to spot through surnames and family ties, cronyism slips by unnoticed.
The Bribery Commission says Charitha Ratwatte, a Senior Advisor during Ranil Wickremesinghe’s tenure as Prime Minister, was arrested today over allegations of having caused a loss of Rs. 99,679,799.70 to the Sri Lanka State Trading Corporation by procuring 50 temporary

Most of RW’s friends end up being crooks.

@AsianMirror How incredibly tone deaf from a party that once railed against neo-liberalism. Aswesuma exists to support the most vulnerable. Families struggling to make ends meet. The answer isn’t to shame them… it’s to depoliticize the system so that help reaches those who actually need it.

He was Prime Minister six times. Been in and around government since 1977. When he finally got a mandate through Yahapalanaya, instead of prosecuting crime (which was what the people wanted), he protected his cronies, and when he became President… he did the same. Set aside
