National People’s Power (NPP) politburo member Sunil Handunnetti says as the first task after assuming office as the President, NPP Leader MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake must investigate the assets and liabilities declared by President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Addressing the media today, Sunil Handunnetti alleged that President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s declaration of assets and liabilities was deceitful and the public would not believe it.
Sunil Handunnetti made the remarks in response to a question raised on the declared assets and liabilities of the President being less than those of the other Presidential candidates.
“Can you believe that the assets and liabilities declaration of Anura Kumara Dissanayake is higher than that of the President? Will the public believe this fact? A fraudulent act has taken place here too. I think as the first task after assuming office as the President, Anura Kumara Dissanayake must probe whether Ranil Wickremesinghe’s assets and liabilities declaration is correct,” he said.
Stating that the public knows how Ranil Wickremesinghe has made his earnings, Sunil Handunnetti said the earnings include the money from the Central Bank bond scam, but they are in different bank accounts.
He questioned whether the public is willing to believe the fact that President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s assets are less than those of Anura Kumara Dissanayake. (Newswire)
