   I hope the people who wanted you out will make sure you and associated people cannot leave the country (you did not the last time, or used the Army to stay in power as alleged after the election you lost) and now to produce their collected evidence and allow the law to take effect and prosecute you. If you have done what is alleged, that is a fair outcome to spend the retirement in jail. If they cannot or won’t do that and cannot prove what they alleged before the law, you and everybody else’s going to suffer years to come have the right to ask for their blood, since the country has no chance of any progress for another generation.

     Urrrr, Just to remind you, the executive presidency has nothing to do with the R’s. As a university student I too went on the Aragalaya against that well before perhaps you were conceived. J R Jayawardena said the Executive President only could not make a man a woman and vice versa. So the great people of Sri Lanka ushered the era of executive presidency and first thing it did was to take Sirima Bandaranayaka’s civic rights away in the guise of extra 2 years she stayed in power ( and by the end of those 2 years Sri Lanka produced enough food for the country and the farmers, specially the farmers in the North and East as well) did very well) to remove her from challenging him at the next election. So, people like myself who has seen and witness those has nothing but the contempt for the public whining about the all powerful executive presidency, because they were told what they were voting for. You can come and remind me after another couple of years this Aragalaya has produced anything better.

   Sad to see the departure of a Statesman under terrible circumstances.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa may have been soft on corruption.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa may have been suffering an insatiable thirst for power and wealth.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa contributed to the Nation in many roles, as exec P, PM, Minister, rights campaigner and redeemer from terrorism.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa’s contributions can neither be erased nor forgotten.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa had human failings just as everyone else does.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa stood tall when others fell.
   Mahinda Rajapaksa’s legacy will live with the Nation, forever.

     Urrrrr Abrew, Don’t run away like a coward without answering the question, as you always do. Just clear to the people in this forum Who you were accusing of hiding peoples’ money in Uganda and taking them out of the country under nuclear waste? Is it slowly sliding away like a slippery eel after spreading the hatred and lies?

     Hi Indra Akke,
     Reporting from the bunker in GotaGoGama.
     I repeat my lines, please read carefully:
     “Mahinda Rajapaksa may have been soft on corruption.
     Mahinda Rajapaksa may have been suffering an insatiable thirst for power and wealth.
     Mahinda Rajapaksa had human failings just as everyone else does.”
     Doesn’t this explain the printed material to Uganda?
     Doesn’t this explain the escorted ‘nuclear waste’ in a container?
     Despite his weaknesses, Mahinda Rajapaksa is a Statesman to be remembered.

   Keep repeating the lines. Much less hasn’t left for you now other than having to eat own lines.
