The government hopes to have a Cabinet reshuffle today after discussion between President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, Minister Malik Samarawickrama told Daily Mirror yesterday that the President and the Prime Minister would decide on the changes to be made.

When asked about the possible changes, he said the two leaders would decide.

The minister, who is known to be a confidant of the Prime Minister, said the two leaders met yesterday to discuss the modalities.

“They will have another round of talks tomorrow,” he said.

When asked whether portfolios would be swapped between the two parties, he said it would be done only if there were mutual agreements between the two parties on such matters. (Kelum Bandara)

Sadly even after red lights at local government elections, there is no urgency in your actions. By the time you people start working after all this dragging on, it will be election times again. But this time people will not be fooled by last minute "election gundu" like salary increases and essential commodity tax reductions just to cover up your inability.

Of what use a new cabinet when MS is delibrately sabotaging whatever government comes unless his govt. is placed.His adviser KIlly Maharajah is behing the scene for the current mess in the country.The special branch in the police will have to be alert to keep track of what is going on in the country. This current mess has to stop to give the people some sort of peace and harmony.Anymore messing around MS has to go. He was given the chance but he ruined the country due to lack of knowledge of running a country.

Whatever you do, we want SF as the Minister of Law and order. Otherwise govt will get a similar or worst result of the Provisional Council Election.
