He's a chairman of this.. chairman of that... what on earth are his qualifications to hold such posts???

District chair was given to all those who topped preferential vote lists in each district. Namal topped Hambantota, Basil topped Gampaha.

Just a reminder, "Helping Hambantota" We Sri Lankans forget fast.

Please don't discriminate the good work.. Development is for the whole country.. It is not important whether it is Hambanthota or Colombo
