Wrong Minister for a Spokesperson on this Matter Thursday, 21 March 2024 02:16 PM

Why is a Minister of Foreign Affairs involved in this on-line matter. It should be the Justice Minister. That’s the problem in SL government, everyone wants to be the spokesperson and not concentrating on their actual ministries and the wellbeing of the citizens.

Is it our policy to pass a bill and then make amendments. Nothing is impossible with our caliber of people.

This Pohottuwa government could change the constitution in a week but could not 1) submit a bill to the Parliament without violating the constitution 2) cannot correct the violations of a supreme court order over a month. Failed government.
