It was Mahinda Rajapakasa who brought 18 amendment and resulted in dictatorship president. As a result, he lost the election and 19th amendment.

I am so pleased at last we have elected a President who honoured his promise and that person is nobody other than Mr. Maithiripala Srisena. Unlike his immediate precedor Mahinda Rajapakse he is humble and honest person. I salute to his courage.

Good achievement if UK is satisfied with these minor changes. Then stop at that level because they may demand more things in future.

DEAR Mr. President do not trust too much these people.They play too many games with srilanka as well as with-other developing countries.Having said that we do not want to agitate them .But we must keep the distance.

how come Mrs CBK did not do what this Man of the hour Mr Sirisena did. all of them including Mr P got hidden in the araliyagaha manadeeraya and were living in a separate world closing the Galle road and the duplication road and making the public suffer as they did not know anything what was going on.Araliyagaha mandeeraya is not a good place to live also it is bad to have Araliya gas in the front of a house ask any person who is old enough the consequences.so either these people must not rule the country from Araliyagahamandeeraya or remove the Araliya and open the roads and live with the people who voted for them.one thing is sure We will never ever get a person like Mr M Sirisena in this century or one to come. May GOD bless Him
