HOW MUCH YOU MIX A CARDS PACK FILLED WITH JOKERS,YOU STILL FIND A JOKER ONLY.

This will certainly not make a significant improvement in the already dismal performance of the government.

Appointment of Mr. Eran Wickramaratne as State Minister of Finance is a very clever move. He was a former Chairman of a bank and an expert in the subject. Will help Mangala in the area.Even Mr. Harsha De S's appointment as deputy to Prime Minister's ministries is a good move. Other ones are not so significant.

Finally Dr. Harsha has been given something related to economy and Eran too. I think these two were very good moves. They also seem to be happy.

Don't miss Chathura Putha. What about offering him the post of minister of sport.. He was a talented cricketer who had played in England as well.
