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 foreign Ministry mandarins have come under severe censure once again. Earlier, the second in command of yahapalanaya had pulled up the white collar ones for serious dereliction of duty, but they are yet to be up on their toes, they say.
This Ministerial one is a big-mouthed politico hailing from the hills. Once he had to spend a holiday in the main state-run lodge for talking out of turn. He was luckless at the recent general poll, but was back in luck soon, when he was hand-picked for a national list seat in Diyawanna.
Nine opposition political parties held a joint media briefing at the political temple in the city recently. The politico who was invited to represent the Betel leaf party at this show had a hard time in deciding whether to attend it or not, they say.
This Ministerial brat who attracted limelight when he had to appear in courts over an issue connected with a lass is back in the news: he had this time round commandeered a limousine in the vehicle park of his father’s Ministry which he had stormed commando-style.
A white collar one presiding over a government statutory body tasked with controlling dangerous drugs the other day made a prediction about the political future of a new youthful Diyawanna member which would have greatly bucked up his father, a Ministerial one, they say.
