This is s guy who is very critical of any move taken by the government. On this issue he is not opposing it. He needs to consult his leaders. These fellows are all the same.

we know , you guys try to score politically. Given the amount Ministers and MP rob from public money, this increment is peanut.. I dont think public need to concern amount his increment..But should up rise against the corruption which happens in millions/billions..

This is called 'playing to the gallery'. A Joint Opposition member was present at the discussion when this decision was taken. Why didn't they oppose it at that time?

Then do not take the salary increment and prove it to the public. These cheap politicians want to take a political advantage rather than the good faith.

What he is saying is not from his heart, just trying to achieve political mileage.

Actually they do not need salary or salary increases. Just being a Politican is enough. Take for instance once a MP in the JVP who had to contribute his salary and later formed his own party and joined the coalation party became Minister and a millionaire with houses n assets worth more. Now these are shouting against increases

Yes they say "Unfair" ... If they are really concern about the people stand up against the Govt. decision and say that they don't accept the pay rise. Will they? no ... in the press briefing is to shed crocodile tiers

Can't you ask from JO leadership to pay the salaries of these poor people who are in the Government. You can easily get their support as well. Then we won't be victimized.

Can JO prove it by action? Can they reject their increased salaries? Then they will be able to prove to us that they are honest politicians! We are awaiting their next news conference to inform us that they rejected the increased salaries. Guys, now the ball is in your court!

You go and ask your 'boralugoda lion cub' if he was sleeping when the request was made?

Which is better increasing the salaries of MPs so that they need not seek for bribe and steal money or to keep the salaries low and allow them and protect them so that they can take bribe and steal money. How many of the JO MPs have these accusations?

It is best to give salary increases to a newly elected assembly after the next general election. The nobody can accuse the fat cat getting more cream.
