I really like what happend to Hemasiri Fdo for his greed to go to places with political sponsorships. He went to many places in the pst for such positions for none of them he is qualified. This is a good lesson for others who are waiting to grab places like it.It is just like men who would take up positions such as Mahootships of a vicious dangerous elephants who normally lose temper and kill their keepers. Hemasiri has gone to a place like that saying I am competent. Like the vicious elephant who kill the keeper with the slightest mistake Hemasiri undertook to take the case of national security and failed although he thought it was an easy job. That misfired and he is now on a death row
Very good
