Yes all the rouges should be chased out no matter they are UNP or SLFP PA. Wipe the corrupted away, this will be good for the country.

Yahapala Friday, 23 February 2018 11:59 AM

Yes of course including the Priminister RW.

No one seems interested in saving poor mans money by reducing the cabinet to 30 and perhaps 40 deputies, all of whom should have some education with minimum corruption.

Dear Mr.President, Take case by case in each ministry and explain the reasons justifying each reshuffle. People will appreciate and have more confidence on your vision to develop the Country.

Can UNP or Ranil sit with Susil and Dayasiri in the cabinet? Who is still holding them?

Palli Kanda Friday, 23 February 2018 06:57 PM

Mr President, Restrict cabinet to 30. Don't bribe with ministerial posts to MP' s crossing over. Restrict perks to Ministers. Get rid of some of the old farts. Then, you will potentially have a chance to continue as President once again!

Is Ranil going to allow MS to put his goons and crooks in the cabinet. This will be a repeat what happened in the LG polls.Sadly MS has no clue to running a government except for advice from his goons and crooked friends. God save Sri Lanka.
