Move to appoint ex-principal of Law College to Supreme Court!

 Wednesday, 23 April 2014

The president is moving to appoint former principal of Sri Lanka Law College Dr. Wedage Dantha Rodrigo, a close friend of MP Namal Rajapaksa and himself, to the Supreme Court, according to Temple Trees sources.

At present there are three vacancies to be filled in the SC. The president is nowadays engaged in quite a formidable task of finding persons who will dance to his tune to fill those vacancies.

MP Namal has recommended Dantha Rodrigo to be appointed a judge in the SC for having aided him in the final examination of the Law College by welcoming him with a sheaf of betel leaves on arrival and giving him a separate air-conditioned room with computers to write for the exam by citing security reasons.

Dr. Dantha Rodrigo has promised MP Namal that irrespective of professional ethics, he will protect the president in the same manner he had helped him at the exam. He has promised further that he will fulfill whatever job given him to their satisfaction despite being harshly attacked by the media.

Ministers gatecrash Namal’ b’day party ‘on their way to Kataragama’!

Wednesday, 23 April 2014 

Several ministers had gatecrashed the birthday party at Carlton House in Tangalle of MP Namal Rajapaksa on April 10, claiming that they had paid a visit while on their way to Kataragama. MP Rajapaksa found these uninvited visits by the ministers quite a headache. All of them had told the president and MP Namal that they had come to Carlton House while on their way for Kataragama pilgrimage together with their families.

MP Namal had been angered by their presence, because he could not enjoy himself in the company of his friends, including those in his home village. Among the ministers who had gatecrashed the party, he had found deputy minister of posts, former national cricketer Sanath Jayasuriya, to be the worst annoyance of all.

MP Namal had tried several times to avoid Jayasuriya, but he had continued to come after him. In the end, he has told the deputy minister, “You are quite a nuisance. Leave me alone.” Thinking that MP Namal was playing a joke on him, Jayasuriya had continued to go after him. Seeing the incident, the president had taken him to a corner and explained the situation. Sometime later, Jayasuriya had left Carlton House like a batsman returning to the pavilion after getting himself out.
