These companies are not accountable to the Auditing mechanism of the state. Corruption is an Art invented and mastered by them. So let’s bring them back?? Was it not after the UNP reign of power that Dushanaya & Beshanaya became day-to-day household words? However, it does not give the incumbent regime the Right to follow suit. MR needed majority in Parliament to win the war that is why he had to give excessive concessions to the undeserving MPs. Arms, Ammunition and Soldiers only cannot win a war, finances and strategies too are required.

This is a common accusation that has never been substantiated. Some even accuse DS of conspiring to also exclude SWRD and JR, in favour of Dudley. If DS did indeed conspire to exclude these three - Sir John, SWRD and JR - you must compliment DS on his good judgement because all three of them went on to become Prime Ministers and all three made a great hash of it. DS was probably a fine judge of men.

Mahinda Rajapakse(MR) with all the difficulties managed to get rid off the terrists within a short period and the same time commenced development projects when western countries were struggling. Ranil and others on the other hand were responsible for killing of innocent civilians, selling government properties, corruptions and poor economic situation in the country. Our people have convenienty forgotten the mess UNP and others created. However, our general public is not ideots and they will use their vote wisely on the 26 January and bring back MR who deserve a second term as the Persident of SriLanka. The truth will at the end.

Regarding MR and his ministers etc. too I am sure MR will have a very close fight and a scare with SF,UNP,JVP funded by the western powers buying members of the govt. and allies. Yet one must not underestimate MR, he has said many an occassion that he knows those who are arround him and carry tales are the ones who are the corrupt but his hands are tied with a narrow margin in govt. I wouldn't doubt one bit that he will win this presidential election once again. If he won last time because the Tamils did not vote.....well this time he will win because the Tamils will vote for him. He will then go to the people asking for a majority in parliament for his alliance. Rid the country of corruption and make Sri Lanka the country that he and it's people can be proud of. That is what I hope and wish for my motherland.....but on the otherhand if he chooses to turn a blind eye and let his goons rob the country then May God Bless Sri Lanka. We know MR throgh his track record and so far unproved allegations of corruption that he is clean.... The bane of our country are the public servants who rob the country and not the few ministers who make money to cover the election costs owing to the preferential voting system. Will you and I spend our life savings to serve the country. The answer is nobody will....spend 10 to 30 million on propaganda needed as per the size of the electoral district. The answer to stopping corruption lies there. That is the cause and the reason...one must eliminate the preferential voting system to stop corruption...onl;y then will our country be ridden of this menace.

Mr Kongahage is having a long shot, and he is obviously misinformed regarding Green Card and and US citizenship. Mahinda did an exceptional job in tackling the international pressure to stop taming the Tigers. He finished the job he undertook by eliminating the world's most ruthless terrorist organization. He must be rewarded for this by allowing him to continue with his Chintanaya. Problem with his regime is the lack of transparency. I am sure that he will work towards improving that once he gets a majority in the Parliament. He has a duty to fulfill the aspirations of all communities, although some people use the word 'Aspirations" only with the Tamils. I am sure he will and we have a duty to give him a chance for that. Remember, he has had only four years as president yet. Ruwan K. Yes. Mr Kongahage is having a long shot, and he is obviously misinformed regarding Green Card and and US citizenship.
