OooooH! what happened to Sarath Fonseka, who is best qualified and with the experience to be the Defence Secretary of a country just 4 years after the end of 30 years war with a terrorist group listed above the Al Quaida by the CIA?
Right man getting the job under MY3??????
Basnayake, where are you mate????
Indra,
I am not the spokesman of the new government. That I supported Maithreepala in election doesn’t mean that I agree with all the activities of that government.
But in general I am not happy with this Basnayaka. I know how he made decisions in past.
However, Sri Lanka Admin service is a big problem in this country for which there is no a solution because they are the heads of all reforms in public sector. So they protect it at any cost to the country.
Simple question I can ask ? Does this Basnayaka have any knowledge about governing forces or military science etc ?
well you ask that question after 2days you voting yourself for them. So you may have such 50 questions after 100 days…. Is this also a misunderstanding of you? What about the misunderstandings about tamil socity? I only ask about what you said?
Basnayaka’s question of basnayaka is, Does basnayaka have knowledge of governing forces or military science? Yes, of course. We can assume he may know how to govern forces according to external foreign forces and the military science of defending his job….
Onlanka Basnayaka, Appreciate your reply. The question is why the best person for the job with the experience and the proven ability, don’t the the job. The answer is tail wagging the dog -ie. TNA vetoed it- isn’t it? It gives a hint as to how the decisions going to be made in the new government.
