A disappointing year View(s):My dear Mother Lanka,The year that just ended was one of ups and downs, one of great surprises, some notable achievements, but other equally significant disappointments. For those who wanted a Cabinet reshuffle, they did get one, but it didn’t amount to much which was disappointing. It is disappointing that they keep talking, losing votes for the ‘maalimaawa’ and not even Anura sahodaraya is able to stop them. As much as this gave us hope, the lack of a chief for auditing is equally disappointing. For those who wanted bigger changes and the main promises of the ‘maalimaawa’ manifesto being honoured, it was a disappointing year.
