Similarly, to President Maithripala Sirisena taking along his son Daham Sirisena<\/span><\/a>, to the UN General Assembly, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko also surprised some onlookers by taking his 11-year-old son, to the General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n

\"Belarus<\/a>Unlike, Sirisena however, who hid his son from the White House Official Photograph, Lukashenko brazenly posed with President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, together with his son, Kolya.<\/p>\n

Koyla\u2019s presence, at the UN General Assembly, was reported in the BBC today<\/span><\/a>, stating that the 11-year-old boys presence in New York was \u201cnot a one-off, \u2018take your child to work day\u2019 for Belarus\u2019s ruling family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe little boy in a suit often accompanies his father on official business, including a visit to Beijing for China’s World War Two commemorations on 3 September.\u201d the BBC said.<\/p>\n

“Often called Europe\u2019s last dictator, Alexander Lukashenko has indicated that his youngest son, Kolya, will be his preferred successor” the Guardian reported<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“President Sirisena, contrary to his Belarusian counterpart, opted to ‘conceal’ his son from the Sri Lankan public, having instructed his media unit to refrain from releasing any photographs with his son Daham Sirisena in them. In what appears to be a bid to hide the fact that he stands guilty of nepotism<\/span><\/a> \u2013 as guilty as Lukashenko.” good governance activist Gunapala Herath told Colombo Telegraph.<\/p>\n
