Has this Minister published his statement of wealth as is required for all public officers?
If he hasn’t speculation will be rife that this house was built on black.

The day all politicians including Provincial Council and Urban Council members declare their wealth and the Government takes action to publish the declarations on the web, I will call myself a proud Sri Lankan citizen.
On that day I will change my name to Rata-vibushana Gorakapola.
