Minister of Incestment Promotion?!
Passed on to me by a friend:
Note the spelling of Naveen’s portfolio in the caption to this photograph from the presidential website. Surely the Freudian slip of an administration that is carrying “nepotism” to new heights?

The original webpage is, at the time of writing, available here.

Surely a spelling mistake in a photo caption is not the most pressing issue facing the country. Naveen is a politician with a lot of potential and he has the ability to do a good job as a minister in his own right. Time will tell if he could stand up to the challenge. I don’t think his being Karu Jayasuriya’s son in law had much to do with his appointment. He’s a budding young leader with a wide appeal, has no Sajith-like baggage to draw him down and could possibly end up in the seat that his father was pulled down from. Yes oh yes there are too many ministers. *Yawn* Move on.
lol. good one sanjana.
i dont know abt ‘budding young leader’ or the wide-appeal part. Sajith’s baggage works for him.
Absolutely right, JustMal. An inadvertent spelling mistake shouldn’t be the butt-end of frivolous posts like this. I do not agree with your vote of confidence in young Mr Dissanayake, though. He is but a pale shadow of his father (and the less said of his father-in-law the better), and certianly will never take up GD’s mantle.
