Navy Commander Vice Admiral Piyal de Silva yesterday (Sept 24) signed the President's order to reinstate Yoshitha Rajapaksa - former President Mahinda Rajapaksa's son, as a Lieutenant to the Navy.
Accordingly, the appointment would come into effect from February 28, 2016. This would also mean that Mr. Rajapaksa would receive his salaries and allowances from the said date.
