Never knew MR had a sister, how come she was never given a ministerial portfolio?

WE HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT HER OR ANY BAD THINGS ABOUT HER OR HER CHILDREN, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED THE FIRST LADY. THANKS MADAM FOR NOT COMING TO POLITICS.

I guess this is not the sister who was at Deniyaya who managed tsunami funds and also had a road carpeted by the RDA.MR looked after the family at the cost of the tax payer.

one of her sons were attending to SAITM but left as he was unable to get the grades. (SAITM has not been promoting fools with a steth ) if i'm not mistaken. may her soul attain nibbana
