WOW!! The creation of this Utopia is simply too good to be true....wonder who wrote it for him. Good luck to him and all the believers that evil can be wiped out from the world through a well-written document that is a direct appeal to all those idealists who cling to dreams....just like the Libyans, only to lose it all!!Good Laundry List especially meant for the On-the-Fencers!!

Bala Friday, 19 December 2014 03:48 PM

You mean 30 ministers ? Yes that is good.

andrew Friday, 19 December 2014 03:46 PM

Dont loose it like your Drug Policy. Keep it safe. Those other fellows will take it. And you will make it a good reason not to implement

Bala Friday, 19 December 2014 03:43 PM

He wanted to see My3 manifesto and he will now change his to counter this - it issheer bankcruptcy to see the opponents and then put out yours.

kukula Friday, 19 December 2014 03:29 PM

my dear friend, you need to deeply reconcile your self. Please do that before you comment.

andrew Friday, 19 December 2014 02:57 PM

What a real professional method it only depicts the true, genuine, sincere, loyal future head of state. I have never seen this practise before in all the Presidential Elections. We must all gettogether and applaud a gentleman who sacrificed all his perks, position, incentive for the sake of the people of Sri Lanka. Public if you are educated and mature you would eventually support a real future head of state. I am speechless of the way the manifesto has been presented and am proud NOW to be a Sri Lankan as we enter a golden era with a new governance and professional cabinet. Right along I have been following MS on his dialogs, speeches, rally conduct, and his method what is overwhelming is he has pruned down the parliament to 30 this is what was needed. God Bless Hon Maithripala Sirisena May Allah shower you his blessings for a prosperous future we are with you

Mohamed Friday, 19 December 2014 02:40 PM

If He did these thinks ,Maithripala will be the changing agent since Independent

Janushan Friday, 19 December 2014 02:40 PM

While MS gives brightness, MR gives darkness( power cut).

Nish Friday, 19 December 2014 02:36 PM

There is nothing about abolishing executive presidency but curtailing powers which are also not specific.

gayan Friday, 19 December 2014 02:33 PM

Wrong, he is not the leader-Chandrika is.

Citizen Friday, 19 December 2014 02:25 PM

Was it written by Chandrika?

piyals Friday, 19 December 2014 02:25 PM

cut and paste policy to follow - rural people become more habitual of believing any crap what govt offers.

MR should have put forward his manifesto before any other candidate since he is the one who called the election.

thushara Friday, 19 December 2014 01:28 PM

Mr. Sirisena please do not lose this as u lost the National Drug Policy!! Whata joke !!!

Cheers Friday, 19 December 2014 01:21 PM

He will be a failed leader

Kasthuri Friday, 19 December 2014 01:18 PM

We have had seen many Manifestos in the past with lots of promises, unfulfilled, finally ended up in dustbins.

thushara Friday, 19 December 2014 01:03 PM

Mr. Sirisena, please do not lose this like you lost the Drug Policy !!! What a joke !

chux Friday, 19 December 2014 12:37 PM

though there is a power failure certainly you will be the next president

CountryFirst Friday, 19 December 2014 12:30 PM

WORDS, WORDS...while the actions thus far demonstrate only Betrayal, Vengeance, and a Devious Plot to get certain others back into the political leadership....IS THIS WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE BEING HOODWINKED INTO?

Mada-Hwaa Friday, 19 December 2014 12:28 PM

Need to give one copyto bunch of UPFA including "HORA UPASAKA" Momanpila for make more jokes

Lucky Friday, 19 December 2014 12:19 PM

Govt, waiting to do a copy cat service.

Prasad Friday, 19 December 2014 12:14 PM

MR waited just copy paste MS manifesto as he has nothing solid to say.

adamsapple Friday, 19 December 2014 12:14 PM

Hmmm... should be interesting...but not realistic....

hemantha Friday, 19 December 2014 12:06 PM

we need a team of members who are responsible to the people to make this reality

Terrence Friday, 19 December 2014 11:54 AM

All the best.

Rufus Norton Friday, 19 December 2014 11:53 AM

Excellent! Things are being done in time, correctly and systematically and hope it will be an indication of the way the new government will be conducted.

Asokamala Friday, 19 December 2014 11:51 AM

MR has not put forward any manifesto yet. Even if one comes out who on earth can rely on it
