Let me tell you briefly in a few points on how @RW_UNP and @GotabayaR are in this to save themselves and not any one else.

Remember @HarshadeSilvaMP who was nominated by the @sjbsrilanka to head the COPF ( Commitee on Public Finance) a little over a month ago? 1.1
1. Standing orders of Parliament specifically says that chairman of COPF must be a member from the Opposition

2. @HarshadeSilvaMP was proposed by the entire Opposition by the Opposition Chief Whip

Looks like prominent Businessman Dhammika Perera will be appointed as Minister of Technology and Investment Promotion.

This got me thinking about how low we have come as Nation and makes me wonder how much lower we can go.

Let me explain on this thread why. 1.1
Dhammika is not only a controversial businessman but he is also one of Sri Lanka’s richest men. What started off on jackpot machines later became a fledging casino business. A business that grew extraordinarily during 2005-2015.

There were multiple reasons why the majority of the @sjbsrilanka did not want @sajithpremadasa to accept premiership under a fully empowered President. Yes, there is a crisis no doubt and a cross section of people wanted the SJB to to take the lead. 1.1
However, The main tagline by the protestors since day 1 was for #GotaGoHome. It was never intended to be #GotaStayHome and #RWWelcomeBack. The peoples one true intention was for the current President to go resign or create an exit path.

Moments like this is when you realise and ponder what the actual end result of the #GotaGoHome could be. The people started the protest due to the increased cost of living imposed by the #GOSL, the Government that the @sjbsrilanka vehemently told people not to vote for. 1.1
The economic troica including @HarshadeSilvaMP and @EranWick categorically warned the citizens and the Government since 2020. All those cries were left unheard. The @sjbsrilanka is the Main Opposition in the Country and was the first to bring in crowds to protest.
