The Secretary of the ruling United People's Freedom Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Susil Prema Jayantha today informed the Elections Commissioner and the Parliamentary Secretary in writing that the President Mahinda Rajapakse's brother Basil Rajapakse was appointed as a MP of the national list.
Basil was to participate in the meeting of the government parliamentary group this evening as a MP.
He fills the vacancy of late Minister of Irrigation Anver Ismail who belonged to the Athavulla Faction of the Muslim Congress. The UPFA Secretary has powers to appoint anyone to fill a vacancy of a MP since Athavulla Faction contested the 2004 election as a party of the UPFA.
Reports further said that the SLFP Secretary Maithripala Sirisena opposed the appointment since it would prove the allegations over a rule off a Rajapakse Brothers Company.

It's time to wield some People Power in Sri Lanka to stop the unending rot that we are facing:-
1. Boycott Lake House newspapers
2. Dont pay taxes
3. Get on to the street, town by town, and march in protest (like Burma is doing now)
4. Protest openly at corruption and a violation of the law
5. Stop being a party to bribes and report every event to sme decent person who is in authority
We cant go on like this forever. Enough is enough!
