    This is getting ridiculous.To pay for all the facilities provided to these appointees will become a burden on the poor taxpayer. What Yahapalanaya preached before the elections was a complete opposite of what they are doing now.

    Why? Don't we have enough?This is nothing but a National Tragedy.

    Presidents face tell us everything.

    garawi Thursday, 07 April 2016 05:33 AM

    Can the parliament or somebody else even the readers publish a list of all the ministers, deputies, state and other, so that we know how many there are now ?

    garawi Thursday, 07 April 2016 05:11 AM

    I am wondering now who shall I vote in the next election?Neither the SLFP nor the UNP is my choice any more though the UNP/SLFP coalition of MR/Ranil is definitely better than MR. Even though clean now the JVP is out for historical reasons. Is there any third new party devoid of old guard in the process of being born with young intelectual instead of thugs, drug dealers, murderers and the like in it? I am waiting!

    Suranga Siriwardena Thursday, 07 April 2016 05:07 AM

    All defeated candidates given portfolios. Why do you have to have elections to seek the mandate of the people?This no better than MR Govt and we are taken to a ride by everyone.

    garawi Thursday, 07 April 2016 05:06 AM

    Is all the MPs now on band wagon? Or are there anymore to be appointed. The criticism of MR's Jumbo cabinet has now become a joke! What a farce this Yahapalanaya is?

    මොනවා උනත් Palitha Thewarapperuma පත් කරපු එකටනම් මන් සතුටුයි. චන්ඩියෙක් උනත් හොරකම් අල්ලනවා.

    Unfortunately, Buddhika Pathirana passed out from the Medical Faculty, unlike, almost all the other MPs.

    saman Wednesday, 06 April 2016 05:34 PM

    The best message we the citizens of this country can give the two sets of corrupt politicians is to vote JVP in the coming local government elections.
