President Mahinda Rajapaksa has appointed a secret committee to evaluate the conduct and progress of each Ministry during the past few months and submit a report to him.

In the next Cabinet reshuffle scheduled for November, the President is expected to consider the findings of this committee when assigning portfolios. It is likely that there will be changes in portfolios held by some ministers after the next reshuffle. 

The reshuffle will take place after the President takes oath for his second term in November. Some UNP MPs and SLMC members who crossed over to the government recently will also get Cabinet portfolios in the new Cabinet. Six UNP MPs and eight SLMC members teamed up with the government to pass the 18th Amendment recently.

Government sources said that some members, who represent the Uva, Wayamba, North Central and Southern Provinces and hold deputy minister posts at the moment, would be appointed as Cabinet Ministers in November.

    This is a very good move. Some people see a hole in every positive move taken by you Sir. Most of them believe some Super Powered countries are 100% clean and free of corruption. But what happened in GB during the previous regime?
    We are with you Sir!!

    Those Minsters who have not performed upto standard should be tied to trees

    What is there to evaluate? He can do or say anything HE wants now and no one can oppose him. Mervyn is a good example. I suppose Mervyn is also in the evaluation committee.

    All MPs will be Cabinet Ministers! 160 of them! Shouldn't this be in the Guinness Book of Records?

    Ahmed Nasser Saturday, 11 September 2010 01:53 PM

    Let Dr. Mervyn head the committee, then everything will be secretive..........even the punishment meted out to those who are disobedient! GESTAPO in the making!

    He should have first evaluated the 18th amendment before jumping in to it. This also gives us an idea how all these evaluations are going to done.

    Maybe just Government rhetoric deliberately leaked to the Press.

    MH-NZ Saturday, 11 September 2010 04:39 AM

    Mr President its good work.After the evaluation we need to see action like all ministries who has not made profits to the country should be sacked including the ministers who carry that ministry portfolio. Ministries who has made profit and work with better controll should be commended and salary increaments should be given to all employees encouraging and motivating them. Thats the only way forward if not they will kill public money with no progress

    he is a good king of the world

    Aruna Jayawardane Friday, 10 September 2010 08:21 PM

    Tharaka Chanaka Saturday, 11 September 2010 04:18 AM

    well the "secret committee" must be controlled by Dr. Merwin

    Wijebahu Saturday, 11 September 2010 04:16 AM

    nothing will happen to Mervyn Silva, no way he will go down, only way for him is up.

    citizen1 Saturday, 11 September 2010 03:52 AM

    And the winner is .....our dear ol' DOC!!

    Caeser Saturday, 11 September 2010 03:38 AM

    This is a good move if implemented well, it will uncover all ills with the Ministers, of those works that have not been done and delayed for various development works. Many a ministers do not attend any works nor they are interested and public are the loosers and country will be backward as a result. Collosal waste of public money is a crime without works not being dpne by the lethargic ministers, just becuase they cannot make money out of the development works is the truth.
