Minister attempting to Appoint his Son in Law as Chairman of Tourist Promotion

- Oct 07, 2015

The minister of Tourist Promotion according to sources is attempting to get rid of either the Chairman of the Tourist Promotion or the Director General to accommodate his treasure-hunting son in law Nirosh Rasiah who returned from a state funded trip from Paris into one of those positions

The Minister had cut the name of the officer who should have gone and included his treasure-hunting son in law. A web site reported that his son in law had enjoyed himself fully in Paris nightclubs at the cost of the taxpayers without making any significant contribution as the Sri Lanka promotion, as no bureau official was represented in the delegation.

Rasiah who has spent his life selling land and properties in the United States according to industry sources would be a poor choice when the country needs to get its act together to capitalize on the tourism wave and potential.

Rasia had acted as the head of the delegation giving direction from Paris to the promotion Bureau. Rasiah has told industry sources in Paris that he is in charge of the ministry and to come to him with any problems.

Sources observed that it may good for the government to check Rasiah’s track record in the United States before they allow the elderly Minister to appoint him as the tourism promotion chief.
