    manpei Monday, 23 April 2012 11:33 PM

    Do we really? I've stopped believing the common man has any power in Srilanka a long time ago.

    gundalagesi Tuesday, 24 April 2012 12:29 AM

    even the PRESIDENT DOESN'T have the power to remove Mervyn. Otherwise Mervyn would have been removed long ago.

    RAZA Tuesday, 24 April 2012 01:46 AM

    MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MERWYN IS HELPFUL TO PEOPLE . ORDINARY PEOPLE LOVE HIM.

    lanka Monday, 23 April 2012 01:22 PM

    Hitler said "I am the party, I am the leader and I am the state". Mahinda through his siblings says the same thing.

    Cynic Tuesday, 24 April 2012 02:04 PM

    Good Idea. Make him the next President, the Miracle of Asia! he will be Unique!

    Cynic Tuesday, 24 April 2012 02:06 PM

    Exactly. That's what Dr. Mervyn said

    Ajantha Monday, 23 April 2012 09:44 AM

    Message is loud and clear. Keep him and allow him to do what he wants and pay a huge price for it in 2016. Good luck.

    Fayad Monday, 23 April 2012 10:05 AM

    Then he will remain in kelaniya ?

    Nodrog Monday, 23 April 2012 10:24 AM

    Does this apply only to Mervyn Silva or all other Ministers?

    Just Another Citizen Monday, 23 April 2012 10:19 AM

    Soon there wont be elections either.

    Imran Hussein Monday, 23 April 2012 10:08 AM

    In other words Mervyn is safe and sound.
