It is a sound decision taken
It is a sound decision taken by the SriLankan government not to appoint Thaksin a person who has been alleged to have committed a great number of curruptions during his office as the primeminter of Thailand. He is not a leader who is respected or liked by the majority of Thai nationals. Further, I personally feel that why SriLanka needs to appoint an economic adviser from outside SriLanka? Aren't there capable people in Sri Lanka?
