Whose interests are looked after by NR and why

MP Namal Rajapaksa’s (NR) name was recently mentioned in two instances where his official presence was not required. The most recent was when he appeared with Minister of Power and Energy, Kanchana Wijesekera when the Minister addressed the press about the fuel crisis.

The earlier instance was when Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani was in Sri Lanka in October to meet the President and Prime Minister. Although NR – a minister at that time – had no connection with the subjects the Adani Group is involved in, he had attended their meetings and was involved in other aspects of the Adani visit.
