Is this a sign of the President's commitment to "Yahapalanaya"?

What in the world is wrong with the President, to appoint a man/thug who toted a pistol which became a toy??? Is this another hoodwink by our hopper eating President???

Aku please educate yourself that the Mayor is elected through open ballot or secret ballot by the elected members and not by the president or leader of any Political party.

What a pathetic state the country is in, All rogues, thugs are in position to run and govern the country, what will be the future and where will the country end.

What is wrong with the leaders of this country? Is this the "YAHAPALANAYA" they try to show the people, that they are bringing in?

Pohottuwa backing him shows he is still a M R man. Oh Siri! You and your SLFP seems to be in cuckoo land!
