    Can this committee override president's selection?

    No. It is a rubber stamp committee.

    What a joke! 14 cronies and only 4 opposition members. Do the opposition parties have a say?

    Bandu Tuesday, 08 September 2020 06:28 PM

    Every voting guaranteed 14 for govt. to 4. Waste of our time and money.

    Start with the criminal who got elected to the parliament. Having crooks to catch the crooks.

    How many are SLPP - MP's will they ever go against the President, only an eye wash.
