It is a very good lesson for all (edited) ministers. Now Mr. Mahinda should remove this man from the cabinet, as well as other two (edited) ,Susantha Punchi Nilame and Mahinda Rathnathilaka. Also Mr Mahinda should reduce the number of ministers into a reasonable number/OR should cut all the previlages as ministers and they have to work with MP previlages as ministers.
