Media Spokesperson of the United National Party Gayantha Karunathilake says when the opposition and the public was expecting a reply from the president to the allegations made to him by then Minister Mangala Samaraweera, the President sacked them from their portfolios using his executive powers.
Addressing the media at the opposition leader`s office he said that the letter sent to the president too awaits a response.
Karunathilake said that the Rajapakse and company is governing 98 state sector institutions and 128 departments, which uses 60 percent of the funds from the overall budget. He said that the government`s cake has been cut into 52 tiny pieces and blamed that even the tiny pieces are being served without the icing.
Media Spokesperson of the UNP requested the government to present a solution to the ethnic crisis since the government now comprise members who want a federal and a unitary state. He added that then all could see the environment which the Minister of environment is going to act in.
He said that the JVP and the JHU stated that the ceasefire agreement would be torn once Rajapakse was appointed as the president, but reminded that it still prevails despite all those threats.
Karunathilake who said that the record set by the Bandaranaike family from 1970-77 by holding onto as much posts as possible has now been broken by the Rajapakse family. He said the UNP will be organizing a stream of protests against the dictatorship of the president, gross human rights violations and the rising costs of goods.

As if Gayantha was not 'invited' in to UNP politics because of his uncle Rupa Karunathilake, former UNP Minister!!

104 ministers and it is only Gotabaya and Basil are cabable of going to out of lanka for foreign meetings!! AMAZING indeed And we wonder why Mangala was upset...
I also read in another news saying that G.L. Peris not going to be taken to China this time as he tried to out-shine MR using his language skills during the trip to Maldives.
Out shine MRs language skills??

Why Basil on foreign missions? Why?????
So that you do not show ill will toward your needy brother and give him nothing. He may then appeal to the LORD against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.

MR thinks that travelling abroad on tax payers money is a luxury only he & his familiy members should enjoy.
MR did tours to Hawaii, USA, UK, Pakistan, India (n number times) Maldives, China.
So he is looking after his brothers now. |
