These extensions will prevent the juniors to come up in ranks. All Ranil's games

Rajapakses are the only ones who will want this war criminal who is banned from entering many countries in the world to continue in power.

Why not appoint him as President or least as Prime Minister. What a wonderful Sri Lanka.

All those who support RW will get extensions. Others who have toiled in Public Service and Forces retire without promotions

I would have thought Ranil would have been more diplomatic and wiser and would not have reappointed Silva, a war criminal who is wanted worldwide and classified as a pariah, to this position.

I would have expected Ranil to show a little more diplomatic tact instead of returning the globally wanted war criminal to his old position.
