    Good move. SLFP can make a strong comeback in future elections if they re-examine the list of new appointees and see as to whether they fall into the category of cleaner characters as expected by the new generation of voters. Nishantha

    Appointment of the Guy who carries Toy Pistols to control crowds, to Hambantota is not consistent with the YahaPalana principles.
