Same old faces , coming with ease to Gota's cabinet . Public expectations totally dashed by GR/MR govt. Gota will not be able to do anything as he wished I suppose .
Amare Wednesday, 27 November 2019 11:50 AM
That is 54 in total.
GOD Wednesday, 27 November 2019 11:57 AM
Poor President and PM, they tried so hard but was unable to find anyone in the minorities to capable of handling these tough jobs!
Daham Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:03 PM
38 18=54. A total of 54 ministers appointed disregarding the promise made during the elections. Good that the 19th amendment brought by the previous government restricted the number.

SB’s post is legendary

There are legal cases pending against M. Aluthgamage, S,B. Dissanayake and Thilanga Sumathipala. The biggest crook is Wimal Weerawangsa. All these unscrupulous characters should NOT have been considered for ministerial positions. Reconsider and remove them
Anmanpan Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:19 PM
Ranil, Daya and Vajira missing from the list.
Appu Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:46 PM
Congratulations to the new state ministers
Dhana Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:46 PM
Better to add another 12 to achieve a perfect half century. Looks like the New broom is not sweeping well after a week.
WAC Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:51 PM
What is the difference between state minister and deputy minister?

I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE GOT RID OF SOME IDIOTS.
Kamala Wednesday, 27 November 2019 05:08 PM
Minorities are not there. Thus it shows two states in one country. The world is watching. Don't feel sorry later.
