President Maithripala Sirisena and his media team ran into another debacle a short while ago when the Twitter account of the President's Media Division posted a negative comment on a Twitter update by the President. 

"In the short time that my administration has been in power, we were able to introduce many progressive legislative reforms. We hope to bring about many more new Acts to strengthen our democracy," the President tweeted this evening. 

A minutes later, the President's Media Division Twitter account responded to the tweet saying, "you are a wonderful speaker. But do you ensure they turn into action. Show by doing!"

It is not entirely clear as to how this strange Twitter response came from the official Twitter  account of the PMD. 

"It seems for a brief moment the @PMDNewsGov twitter was compromised. The account has now been recovered and PMD is investigating the matter," the PMD tweeted a little later, explaining the debacle. 

This 'clarification' does not answer the question whether the Twitter profile was hacked by someone or an administrator made a boo-boo while operating multiple accounts.
