President Gotabaya Rajapaksa<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u2019s plans of appointing people to government posts on meritocracy hit a stumbling block, when the Rajapaksa super brats MP Namal Rajapaksa<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and Rohitha Rajapaksa<\/span><\/strong><\/a> had their respective Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law appointed as Directors to the Airport and Aviation (Services) Sri Lanka Limited.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to many, MP Namal Rajapaksa’s Father-In-Law Thilak Weerasinghe Chairman Lanka Sportreizen (LSR) and Rohitha Rajapaksa\u2019s Mother-in Law\u00a0Deirdre De Livera\u00a0were appointed earlier as Directors of Airport and Aviation (Services) Sri Lanka Ltd.<\/p>\n

The former beach boy Thilak Weerasinghe was a wind surfer who went on to win the National Wind Surfing Championships in Colombo before teaming up with a German tourist to start off his company now known as Lanka Sportsreizen (LSR).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile according to Rohitha Rajapaksa\u2019s (Chichi) Mother-in-Law Deirdre De Livera\u2019s profile, it is stated that she is a Business Development Specialist at EXEL Holdings (Pvt) Ltd. She started off as an airline executive with Delmege Air Services (Pvt) Ltd.<\/p>\n

To cap it all off the the post of Chairman Airport and Aviation (services) was accorded to the former Northern Province Governor Major General (Rtd.) G.A. Chandrasiri .<\/p>\n

According to an article published in the Daily FT<\/em> the appointed Chairman G.A. Chandrasiri openly confessed that he had no experience in his appointed role but was keen to learn on the job.\u00a0(By\u00a0Dasun Jayakody)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
