Despite UNP contributing approximately 4.5M
votes out of the 6M that gave My3 his Presidency, it appears that they will
only receive less than 40% of the Ministerial portfolios on offer.
Such is politics, that last minute
jumpers like Rauf Hakeem who has only brought his own vote into the election,
as all other Muslims would have voted for My3 anyway, is likely to get a Cabinet
post. I think for starters he should not, as he really does not represent the
Muslims in Sri Lanka anymore, and he has consistently gone against his
community advice in holding onto his position within the Rajapakse Regime of
yore, refusing to forfeit his sinecure, though it was only trapping and not
much else, but he appears to be a sucker for the limelight.
This is just one person, but it is the
same logic by which the other rudderless exes will be accommodated. I was told
this morning that they are awaiting the arrival of Nimal Siripala, Susil
Premajayanth, and Anura Priyadarshana Yapa today, before finalizing the cabinet!!! Just read them the riot act, and say they will be prosecuted if they stay with MR, and they will come like little frightened lambs to the table, to be devoured!
What a joke to accommodate these heathen
without a following in the cabinet? The new Govt. should graciously just accept
them into Govt. back bench ranks and NOT give them any ministerial portfolios.
After all their crime was treason against the people of Sri Lanka in propping
up a Dictator who had NO inkling of feeling for his people, and these MPs,
ministers call them what you will, steadfastly refused to bow down to what was
right in the exercise of dictatorial power.
It is going to take an almighty amount
of head scratching and feeling heads of upset UNPers across the Country in
explaining who actually won this election, if the losers are given the plum
positions~
Time for some introspection, and getting
the whip out to tell them it is obscene to give them anything in light of their
complicity in crimes against the state, and threaten them with prosecution with
the full force of the law, if they don’t come to heal, and ensure the Govt. is
able to fulfill the will of the people. Namely the 100 day program that has effectively
been OK in a quasi- referendum.
It is another day in Politics, and it is
the long suffering people of the land who suffer, for personal advancement of
selfish people in high office. It is time we make an example of some of these
no bodies, and once and for all go for a clean, baggage free Cabinet of
reliable, responsible, and faithful party loyalists of the UNP.
lol all UNP mps in the current parliament are getting either a Ministerial or deputy ministerial position. How can they increase more when UNP has only 40 mps in the parliament?
ReplyDeleteIt was Sajith and his scheming and the Maithri Guneratne, Shiral Lakthileke jokers who are responsible for the state of the UNP now. How they like vermin are trying to curry favor by putting ads in the paper thanking their people for supporting the My3 makes me puke!
ReplyDeleteIf not for their disastrous escapades, with aiding and abetting by the Tiran Allesses and Kili Maharajas of this world, it would a single UNP government today, as it is clear who have come out of this whole episode, squeaky clean.
Every person who is in or were in the MR coalition is tainted, and they have tried to whitewash their dirty deeds by their crossovers beginning on Nov 21st.
So no matter what is said and done, this long suffering UNPer deserves more than what has been on offer lately and it is incumbent on the party machinery to inform the electorate of the facts behind the present change and convince the voters to vote for the elephant if they do not want a dilution of policies to cater to every tom dick and harry that joins a coalition!
Liberal one dont display your ignorance, as only half the UNP MPs are expected to get anything!!!
ReplyDeleteok wait till the cabinet is appointed and then write down here the names of UNP mps that does not get either a ministerial or deputy ministerial post.
