So this strengthens the government and legitimises the crook. Rule of law. Rule of law and rule of law friends. Strengthen the institutions or perish.

This Minister should have been fired long time ago. Again, the President is keen only on the Presidential Election and nothing else! No one give a hoot of those innocent people who have died due to sub-standard medicines, procured by the "Massive" corruption in the Health Ministry. The saying of "Fish rots from the head down" is definitely applicable to our Health Ministry. In Sri-Lanka, people can commit murders, shoot the pistol in the air, but not allowed to criticize the Government or Protest against hardships. Those dares, would be arrested immediately by our Politicized Police Force!

Obviously corrupt RW and his cronies will defeat these motions against the corrupt. It goes without saying. Sadly we are governed by these inept bunch of cronies.

This is not a vote to decide who is who is wrong, but to decide the destiny of those in power.

Great. All corrupt MPs have voted to keep Dr. Rambukwella as the Minister of Health. He can continue to get commissions from black-listed drug companies and keep on reducing the population of overpopulated Sri Lanka.

What a drama for two days ..so they heard no evil , read no evil in the media and had the guts to stand up and speak about the evil .it was all a game .no sitting on edge with suspense by those who profited from the deals or the rest who suffered not even the Minister concerned ...Now clear the arena for the next game .

Good that the names are published. Public/voters must make a note not to send to Parliament those who voted to defeat the motion. They are all playing with our lives

The Government won while the people were defeated. The MPs, who supported Keheliya either through voting or by abstaining, deserve spits on their faces.

People were expecting these results as there were more crook or animals than humans with brains! Langa Matha is crying by crying by changing the Pearl of the Indian Ocean to many TEAR drops by crooks!

Jayawewa !!!! These crooks have voted for another crook and the "Fox" Jack of all trades Ranil will keep this crook in his post to bring in more inferior medicines from blacklisted companies and to KILL all of us, while the crooks and their families will FLY to OTHER COUNTRIES for their own medical treatment at our TAX PAYER EXPENSE. 6.9m and more should now REJOICE.

This clearly shows, for our MPs, money and power are more important than their conscience.

This proves that the ministers who voted against their conscious are greedy to stay in power even over the death of the people who voted them to power. This short lived.

Can't blame any body and this is a very good lesson for our modays for selling their votes for few monies and voting for these crooks and this trend will continue unless a transformation takes place.
