    The biggest talker for the SLPP is the sacked JVPer Wimal . We know what he had before he became a Minister, and now what he is worth after 5 years . 71 Million is not Pea Nuts and what about the Mansion where a young fellow died after a heart attack . One cannot amass such a lot of money with a pay of a Minister. The best punishment is to confiscate the money and send him for a good rest at Walked
