Minister of Social Empowerment S.B.Dissanayake said that they were extremely confident of passing the no confidence motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and that he believed that many United National Party(UNP) and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) members would support it.

He said that many changes would be witnessed in the political landscape thereafter but re-iterated the fact that there was no hurry to change the Cabinet at this juncture.

He made these comments at a ceremony held in Liyanwala in Walapane to declare open a model village displaying Samurdhi products. He also distributed electrical appliances to several individuals.

“Following the local government elections, 167 local councils cannot be established without the support of Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). We are holding discussions to make sure that our members all get into these LG bodies and will do what is advantageous to us in future,” he said.

And this is the man who while in jail had most of his visits by Ranil Wickremasinghe. Talk of gratitude ...

We have filed a no confident motion to you at the General Election But Sirisena gave you a minister post. Please remember where you are and what you are talking.

We the people have no confidence of the signatories of NCM !!

While we have leaders such as this what confidence can ordinary people have in anything? Tragic that this person can hold public office. Even when the people want to be rid of him the President lets him back in through the back door. Time for a new party to sweep away the old rubbish.

A candidate who was rejected by the people, voted out, entered through the back door and now trying to fix our future. If only SB felt shame....but we know he does'nt. This is business as usual for him. What a country we live in

Very interesting to note that those who were not elected by the voters are trying to kick out one who was elected by the voters. Only in Sri Lanka!
