Barbara Seneviratne<\/p><\/div>\n

Mr. Hemakumara Nanayakkara has made history, he was not shy or afraid, its better late than never, he saw this devilish political business is going from bad to worse.<\/p>\n

I wonder if it is the astrologer’s advice that this small country should have air ports at every corner, while the need for better roads at village level is ignored. Travelling by road brings people together within four hours one could reach north, south and east while enjoying the remarkable scenery which warms ones heart.<\/p>\n

But since we are governed by corrupt politicians we have to\u00a0deal with the appalling fact that millions of rupees\u00a0are wasted at the expense of our children, elderly and general population. The SLFP politicians still have not grasped the fact that the cost of living has shot up after the war was ended and to add to this misery<\/p>\n

Mr. Johnston Fernando has demanded that vegetables fruits to be transported in crates. What should one call these ignorant bagpipes.<\/p>\n

Now to add fuel to the present burning questions the government have decided to go for local elections ahead of time which means a colossal sum of money will exchange hands. All activities in government institutions will be at stand still and this is also
\nanother yoke round the necks of the unsuspecting population In the near\u00a0future.it\u00a0will not be a\u00a0 surprise to read\u00a0Julampitiya Amare’s name on a nomination list.<\/p>\n

Well let say all our dreams are a washout hence we are forced to accept that violence, corruption is on the throne and without doubt this country will become ungovernable.<\/p>\n
