    just few lines of words. he knows how competent cabinet he has , if any one see the qualifications of them it would be ashemed to the country. see the ministers in singapore.

    After himself appointing THEM, HE HIMSELF WARNS THEM. WHAT KIND OF A PRACTICE IS THAT. WHY DID HE APPOINT THEM AT ALL. HE HIMSELF KNOWS THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE PEOPLE HE HAS APPOINTED. THIS REFLECTS WHAT KIND OF A LEADER HE IS.

    ProphetTaiya Tuesday, 23 November 2010 06:32 PM

    WE ADORE YOU MR!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST LEADER WE SRI LANKANS CAN EVER HAVE!!!!!!

    Are you helping more and more Ministers to make money illegally for services rendered to yourself?

    Afker Hussain Tuesday, 23 November 2010 10:53 AM

    As far as i am concerned the more Ministers we appoint the more corruption we will foresee. Its best to have 20 cabinet Ministers and the corruption level will go down by 50%..

    Chanaka Tuesday, 23 November 2010 08:08 AM

    What has he warned? Not to overdo corruption and get caught to opposition. What a advise from King Corrupt.

    V.D.Jayawardene Tuesday, 23 November 2010 05:33 AM

    It is best that the President practices what he preaches.

    Mr. Prez ,Give them lines if they don't do a good job, if they are still bad get them to stand on the chair at cabinet meetings.!!!

    Small country like Sri Laqnka why this type of Jambo cabinat. Eg - as a island we should sufficient with fishing industry but it is a dream so that why we need such big cabinet. If you take Maldives their main income is through fishing and tourism we have to learn from them. My suggestion is the cabinet should be reduce till 10/12 numbers

    suwantha Monday, 22 November 2010 12:23 PM

    you must warnn yourself before warning others.

    jayagoda Monday, 22 November 2010 12:02 PM

    AZ Monday, 22 November 2010 07:20 AM

    Hope u & your family will practice what u preach.. to stop corruption that is

    Anver Monday, 22 November 2010 08:24 AM

    I like him telling :" TAKE STEPS TO STOP CORRUPTION"! Corruption is the lifeblood of ministers and how can they stop it from flowing even in their dreams?

    buddy Monday, 22 November 2010 08:20 AM

    Well said ACG. Action speaks louder than words in another term.

    Chandra Monday, 22 November 2010 08:18 AM

    Guys, don't be negative. Why not start from somewhere to make the ship upright!!

    ACG Monday, 22 November 2010 08:05 AM

    Mr. President, Avavadayata wada Adarshaya uthum!!

    Game Kolla Monday, 22 November 2010 07:53 AM

    I think it is better to appoint all MPs as ministers and all ministers as Cabinet ministers.

    Unarmed Gunman Monday, 22 November 2010 07:53 AM

    NOTE : Only only family in Sri Lanka is officially entitled to do corruption.

    lankaputha Monday, 22 November 2010 07:41 AM

    I still need some more to strengthen my hands. So can't keep the promise, I only can reduce the total MP's to 35 when the entire MP's help me.

    PWC Monday, 22 November 2010 07:36 AM

    Percy Mandawala Monday, 22 November 2010 07:32 AM

    Stop talking nonsense. We do not trust you anymore. You have gone back from every word you made to public.
