The free trade arrangement (FTA) that was signed recently with an ASEAN country is set to run into hot water. A militant religious leader is getting ready to take on the architect of the FTA publicly and float a no confidence against the man for what he says is a sellout of the paradise sovereignty. Hmm…
The former foreign ministering type is livid with his party that he has not been given the portfolio back despite many promises by the green leader and the presiding type. The man, who is well known as a mover, is getting ready to make his next move to rock the system before the next hustings.
A state-owned entity in the communications set up has mismanaged its finances to such a level that the entity has started to delay payments to its creditors. No creditor wants to take on the institution, given the size of its reach and the power the people on the board wield at the top. Hmm…
A discussion to discuss the much hyped up Gamperaliya programme of the Yahapalana government to win back the village was held at a government-owned five-star hotel. Many green types we hear want the programme to be managed by the deputy green leader as he understands the poor man better than the five-star circuit ministering type, who taxes everything he can get his hands on.
Two city hoteliers sympathetic to the blue types had secretly met the brother of the deposed king at a star property in the city. The meeting we hear was to discuss the hospitality industry. The hoteliers were advised to go slow on their investments and not to show too much enthusiasm for the government hospitality programme.
A construction type that was securing every important construction thanks to a ministering type, having close links to a VVIP, is now in big trouble. The man who has strong links to the deposed king continued his winning streak through Yahapalana, courtesy the ministering type. His previous borrowings also got ignored. We hear the man this time round is in big trouble because his partner has had enough with him and is about to pull the plug. &nb
The deposed king had met the law and order man from Bibile at a Chinese function recently and cornered the ministering type. The deposed king had asked the ministering type whether he was going to file a fresh case against him and his family before the election and push it through the new courts. The ministering type had innocently changed the subject by pretending to talk on the phone and had vanished into the thin air. Ha ha…
The presiding type is all set to enact the death penalty to ensure the drug lords of paradise are sent to their final resting place to save our society. We hear the green leader type is not for it, given the impact the decision would have on trade in general. The presiding type, who is a man who keeps his ear to the ground, has dismissed the green leader’s wise consul and seems to be ready to sign off the death wish.
A powerful JO type has got a divine message saying he will be the next head of state of the sunny paradise. So, we hear the man is now publicly saying that he is the most senior blue type and that he should be given the nomination, if the former strongman cannot contest. We hear his sister type has hatched a plan to give their best shot for her brother. Ha… ha…
A chairman type of a listed entity had been told by the major shareholder to retire to bring in a new chairman type. The man had said he would leave at the annual meeting. We hear a few months have now gone and the man has happily forgotten his promise. We hear his past record is also not helping his cause. Sin men…
We hear the new boss at the stock market regulator type is getting the official types to work extra time to get things moving. They say, although the man is a typical case of ‘I, me and myself’, something productive seems to be happening. Hence, they say they don’t mind the long sermons the man has a penchant for giving. Ha… ha…
A newly appointed adviser type to the presiding type is hell bent on becoming the key economic man in the country. A state ministering type is said to be of the opinion that the advisor type influenced the presiding type to use Machiavellian tactics to take the bank that is central and a regulatory body out of the prime ministering type.
Apparently, the financing type is not happy with how the paradise nation’s currency has been behaving of late and he has found fault with the bank that is central for that. They say a surreptitious move is afoot to appoint an official type close to the financing type currently serving him to the bank that is central and get rid of the current soft-spoken but stern type, who brought back integrity to the bank after the worst scandal in the b
A ministering type, who was at the centre of gravity, who was given a portfolio that is a money spinner, much to his delight, has been recouping in a hospital last few weeks. We hear the ministering type, who could not resist the Bradby encounter, had worsened his situation by taking the long ride to the hill country. The man is scheduled to be out of action for some time and now the hunt is on for an acting type. Sin men...
Three important diplomatic stations have not been filled for the last three months. The foreign ministering type is happily playing ball without making any effort to fill these vacancies. We hear an advertising guy is tipped to be sent to Old Blighty but unfortunately the presiding type has also found a choice of his own. So, the battle goes on. Hmm…
Despite the politico hubby being under pressure to give up one of his portfolios, the better half undaunted was shopping around for a luxury car for their son-in-law. The wife had visited a car dealer in the city and settled down for Benz E type for twenty three million smackers. Someone had remarked that not so long ago the father-in-law was riding around in two wheels. Hmmmmm.
