I cannot understand the idiotic comments above.The President must and has every right to attend UN sessions as Head of State.If this is the type of opposition that the UNP can provide the people will decide at forthcoming elections to wipe out the UNP.Mr RW to note.Puerile ideas of UNP member HF and his ilk should be condemned as completely out of order, coming from a much discredited and out of touch political party !!

who the hell cares, He is the Peoples President Chosen by the People,what he is doing is fully endorsed by the People, Now it is too late for any action,this is what the Majority wants. those who are concerned, why are you complacent?, sadly Sri Lanka is incapable of being United,and will never be United, THE CURSE OF KUVENI,for Treachery, The Orisans, from East India have done too much of Damage to such a Beautiful Island.

The President has evert right to take whoever he wants to BUT he should be mindful if any purpose will be served for spending on so many who have nothing to do there than to simply go for sight seeing at state expense.

When will the Sri Lankan voter ever learn of the rides they are being taken. Is Sri Lanka suitable for democracy?

MR has a habit of doing this since he was appointed as the President. It seems that he is not concern about the hardships of people , othewise he cannot forget Rs.2500/= salary increment, that he promised. As a politician there is nothing exceptional him, and very similar to his predecessor,other than giving the politcal leadership to win the war.

Put this money in prospective.
We could have built 150 houses for the IDP's at a cost of 1 million each.

Currently government is giving Rs.5,000 and some takaran sheets for IDP's to build their own houses. This is so called re-settlements. What a pathetic situation.

God save our mother Lanka.

It's high time all Sri Lankans started demanding accountability from politicians who are wasting tax payers money on lavish lifestyles.
