Minister of Foreign Affairs - This portfolio sets the tone how the country is going ahead with its relationships with other countries. For us, this is a major aspect for our developments. Im sure the government could have come up with a better person that Ravi K. Its absurd. Finanace Minister - I guess they dont want an educated person in that field to take up the portfolio. sigh

Yes Amaraweera has more links with MR than MS. It is dangerous to have this spy in the Govt.

You are correct, if President wants to keep up the election promises, he should make SF as the defense minister and give him all powers to catch the MR's family JO looters.

Can Mangala manage Finance? Very much doubtful and I am sure President should re-consider this appointment.

Mr. Sujeewa should be given a Ministerial post as he is a honest person who suffered a lot to form this Govt.

The UNP is shameless. Why agree to these meaningless changes, and slip in an old pal Marapone as well. the UNP leadership has to be changed for any change in the direction of SL.

Whatever said and done Managala did a fairly satisfactory job as FM. When everything is collapsing he kept things going the foreign front for us, plus he is not corrupt.

Mr Eran or Dr Harsha should have been given the Finance. I think SL is going nowhere with the swap of finance and foreign ministries. Mess is going to a messier
