IF they were ...Guys, WHEN WERE THESE HOUSES BOUGHT? IF they were bought BEFORE MR became President, then it is a moot point. NO ONE says if they owned the houses after they migrated during the Premedasa regime. Gotabaya was a very good officer who was harassed and victimized and quit in frustration at the UNP. He fought in Jaffna and also did well to fight the JVP terrorists. So if they had the house from BEFORE Nov of 2005, then how do we know how he bought it ? Come on now, Are you helping the Eelam cause with this sort of allegation? Remember the assholes who claimed CBK HAD a house on the Nile ? and say they SAW IT??
