Well, I can understand the President is representing SL in the Coronation. But who are these Super-8 guys?
I agree totally with Amarakoon. Why should 8 EIGHT others accompany the imposter president. ?? to guard him. What unnecessary expenditure when the Country is in crisis mode!!! What extravagant example the unelected president is setting the Country !!!!!
Michal and Amaraakon appear to have their monthly leaks.
8 in the team accompanying Prezzo RW are peanuts.
Hope they all travelled business or executive class on the airlines.
Personal insults from Roxie show “ill education”. To call this extravaganza peanuts indicates the Country is in real trouble !!. Perhaps the Office of the unelected president will indicate who these EIGHT people are. It is in the Public Interest.
