Was Mahinda Rajapaksa aware of the alleged corrupt dealings of his own brother Basil Rajapaksa Secretary of Economic Affairs under ex-President Mahinda Rajapaksa?<\/p>\n
With another brother Gothabaya Rajapaksa as Secretary of Defense, with Security under his domain, GR must have been aware of goings-on?<\/p>\n
And then, did the arrogant son, Namal Rajapaksa was known to throw his weight around the inner circles, roaming the Island in his fancy expensive sports cars, live beyond his means on ill-gotten gains, as a Member of Parliament?<\/p>\n
If these allegations are proven, should litigation be taken against Corruption at the Top, before similar action is taken against others irrespective of Party considerations?<\/p>\n
Which ever way Mahinda Rajapaksa answers this question, MR will prove himself either Incompetent or a Liar!<\/p>\n
The Six Million Dollar Question: Is President Maithri Sirisena, a man of his word, strong enough to allow activate impartial legal remedies to start with immediate effect?<\/p>\n
When in my previous publication, when I expressed, “Corruption is the Curse of Sri Lanka”, one writer pointed out that Corruption is not restricted to only Sri Lanka, but it is a Global Endemic.<\/p>\n
Looking at Transparent International:

\nSri Lanka ranks at No: 85, along side India. Even Singapore is sliding down slowly!<\/p>\n
With President Maithri Sirisena taking office at the start of the 2015, hopefully, if President can get Sri Lanka to move a few points upwards, that will be a good start to Crown his Presidency.<\/p>\n
One of the LankaWeb readers\/writers suggested a special section dedicated to corruption to Name & Shame those who are involved in corruption. Whilst this is an important issue, both LankaWeb and those who subscribe must be prepared to face litigation in the event the victim decides to take legal recourse. Hopefully LankaWeb Readers might have alternative remedies for this epidemic!
