Yes Ravi,
Life in the Mendis Arakku sponsored Penthouse is more exiting than a future life in Janadhipathi Mandiraya.
Sour grapes, Ravi, guess you’ve realised you can never become the President.
due to a motio of no confidence on the motion on the president combined with amendment A why not get rid of the president for good and bring his functions to parliament
Good idea Engr Perera,
Unfortunately, if the Executive Presidency is abolished, the senile leader of the UNP will not have a job.
This minister just trots out statements without giving any reasons – “executive presidency is unsuitable for Sri Lanka”. Just like the western “globalisation” garbage !!
This minister also unsuitable to the government and as a person to the country as well.
