...On the non participation of Sajith at this event:<br /><br />1 The event was advertised in the press prior to their departure. <br /><br />2 There is NO evidence of whether he was invited or not, or if he declined to join<br /><br />3 Remember Sajith does not do anything on his own initiative, and he has to first ask permission from wife and mother, and here there appears he was not able to discuss that at length beforehand.<br /><br />4 In any case Sajith only works with people he considers his camp, not wanting to be overshadowed by others, and hence decided it was too hot a topic for him to handle.<br /><br />5 He has to play a very delicate game in Hambantota, and not seen to be dissing the white elephants there as the populace have been fooled into believing they are NOT white! There is NO development as far as employment for locals is concerned.<br /><br />6 I think it is time to consider whose side Sajith is as he does not work as a UNP MP and in his whole election campaign never asked the people to vote for the Elephant just for his nominees, so he is working to a different agenda.<br /><br />7 If Sajith happened to be in the team he would have stood out as a fish out of water not in sync with the others and possibly be counter productive to a proper evaluation of these questionable projects.

I heard it as "200" and he repeated "1200" bu added that even 800 would do. I gave him 800 and sent him off.<br /><br />I think he may be the same fellow who asked my bro for 5000 about a year ago. My bro refused.
