Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, has arrived in Uganda to promote bilateral security among both nations, media reports said.

Rajapaksa was received by Uganda’s State minister of Defense, General Jeje Odong at Entebbe Airport on Friday.

The Sri Lankan High Commissioner to Uganda, Vellupillai Kananathan, said Mr. Rajapaksa is here on a working state visit and would spend five days in Uganda.

“The visiting defence secretary will have a chance to meet with President Museveni, and the Commander of Defense Forces to discuss defense issues and also meet a technical team from the ministry of defense,” Kananathan said.

He said Rajapaksa will also visit Murchison falls national park and Lugazi Sugar Corporation to promote cooperation in sugar production. Sri Lanka is a leading sugar producer.

Kananathan said there were a number of Sri Lanka investors in Uganda and more have showed interest in coming.

Last November Museveni visited Sri Lanka at the invitation of his counterpart, Mahinda Rajapaksa and during the visit Sri Lanka agreed to refurbish Masulita Vocational Training Center in Kakiri.(New Vision-Uganda)

Gota is probably one of the only few who is actually doing something for the country. I personally support his work.

Cricket Trip Expenses List are as follows:
1- Luxry Hotel Rooms.
2- First class werstern wine drinks (for this comedy makers)
3- Business Class Air Ticket
4- Bllot proof limousine - (transport) for round up
5- Other entertainment expenses.
So the conclusion is this
Chintanaya = Pawlpakse personal Enjoyment by public fund
will result country become famine due to high inflation. "Ummbala apita vote kalla...dan Apiey RATA HADAnawa with honda chintanayeng.....

We voted for MR. Tthinking that "chintanaya" at least hereafter will do a good job to public since the WAR also not there. But when we consider all finally, government waited until the election is over very trickily to increase the prices of gas and fuel. WE hope these INCOME will also help to waived the part of expenses "creicket Tour to india".
Pawlrajapakse Godda....Jananthawa Walay!!!...suba anagatak ...suba chintanayak

mervyn Perera Sunday, 21 July 2013 08:37 AM

Can we please know in what airlines he went. Are the Rajapakses investing our money in this country and building hotels and tourists resorts.

sandman Sunday, 21 July 2013 07:51 AM

Sri Lanka is a leading sugar producing country? Not sure about that. We do have a "Minister of Sugar"!

Looks like Daily Mirror approve only anti-Gota comments as usual

Security? Defenses? How far away is Uganda? Is either country expecting an attack, say from Bhutan?

Monkey Joe Saturday, 20 July 2013 03:00 PM

Visiting Idi Amin's ghosts ?

He may do wonders there.

NaraLowaHolman Saturday, 20 July 2013 01:09 PM

Hope you will come back safely. Because the hatred you have created among our SRI LANKAN minorites may return as a curse.
