Manusha, who petitioned against Maithri, becomes deputy minister!

Apr 06, 2016

President Maithripala Sirisena has become so generous that he has given the foreign employment promotion deputy minister position to Galle district MP Manusha Nanayakkara, who had worked against him in support of Mahinda Rajapaksa. It is now well known that after getting elected from the votes of the UNPers of Galle, Manusha had joined the Rajapaksa regime, to ‘strengthen the hands of Mahinda Rajapaksa’, and for that he had obtained a Rs. 50 million bribe in dollars at the Neluwa estate of a leading businessman.

When Manusha met Mahinda’s relative Nirupama Rajapaksa to get her signature for a petition that the ex-president should remain the party leader, Nirupama said honestly, “What our generation had done was to ruin the country. Maithri has no such accusation. Let’s give a chance to Maithri.” Leaving her in a hurry, Manusha had gone straight to Mahinda and told him, “See, sir, how your own ones treat you now.”

But, it was not Nirupama, who had talked on behalf of Maithri, but a deal striker like Manusha who had tried to sabotage his work, benefited from Maithri. Some time ago, Manusha had told MP Buddhika Pathirana, “This is my last chance to enter parliament. I will somehow have to do something for myself this time.” For that, Maithri today paved the way for Manusha.
