    The initial fault is of the people.......By not voting for educated ppl in parliament to make vice decisions....they are gonna need advisors, Deputy ministers like this etc.....Same case with the Big Boss also.....

    Will this make any difference to citizen.

    Priyantha De Silva Thursday, 01 November 2012 09:01 AM

    I don't think that will make any difference.Because there isn't a national policy or don't want to bring either.

    Rubert Vanderkoon Thursday, 01 November 2012 08:44 AM

    It definitely will. Amunugama will now keep his mouth shut or speak against the CJ in the impeachement.

    he never got ministerial position in this government as he was expected because MR knows he is not capable.

    on budget day.
