President Maithripala Sirisena today rejected the claims that the ministries had not been assigned on scientific basis and that he would take into consideration the scientific basis when gazetting subjects and institutions of the ministries.
He said at the swearing-in ceremony this morning that changes were made when assigning ministries by him in consultation with the Prime Minister.
“Some people allege that the ministries have not been assigned on scientific basis as promised. I reject that allegation. When assigning the ministries, the Prime Minister and I discussed about it and made changes. I must say that I will consider the scientific basis when the subjects and institutions of the ministries were gazetted. Most ministries which had allegations against them were changed under the new reshuffle,” he said.
He said he would discuss with the Prime Minister and take steps to gazette the institutions to the ministries on a scientific basis.

Mr. President, your advices have for sure interpreted the meaning of scientifically incorrectly, and it seems you have not yet had a chance to check the meaning through the media.

Reshuffling will be done for the rest of the term to keep the politicians happy !.

You are unscientific to be the President to begin with sir. Please don’t try to keep fooling us.

Mr PresidentCan you please tell us the meaning of Scientific Way in appointing ministers? If you did have one what was the formula?Also what qualifications and experience the assigned ministers do possess to hold such ministries?Even the grade 5 child knows you are useless and spineless!!!

Oh boy. What has science to do with individuals and their suitability of a particular ministry. The president should be awarded a Nobel Prize for Science. In which school did he study science and up to what standard?

Uh now I see the scientific connection of Sarath Fonseka and Wild life.

Are you redefining science? Whatever it is, the old jokers are still in command and ruining the nation. If they failed in one ministry it is almost certain that they will fail in the other. The only good thing is that the bank robber is not in.

Someone should explain to this man what 'scientific' means, and the difference between 'scientific' and 'political'. Dumb!

This scientific approach appears to be nothing more than a game of musical chairs...

What if the 90% of the lot doesn't know the meaning of science?

When you elect idiots to govern don't expect them to act smart. All what they do are idiotic acts.
