Yahapalanaya authorities are standing firm on the ban imposed on foreign jaunts for government Diyawanna members. Two high-ranking Ministerial ones and another two ordinary members from the Green party had recently sought permission from the new Big Boss to travel abroad.


 The request by the two Ministerial ones had been turned down straight away. Of the two ordinary members, the one from the South who failed to get a portfolio despite topping the district preference list, got the nod for his foreign trip, they say.  The disappointed Green party Diyawanna member hailing from the Colombo district was once as conspicuous in the media scene as his colleague who was lucky in this instance.
