Rumors are rife that another cabinet reshuffle by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is on the cards, this will most likely happen upon the return to the country of Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa, the Daily Mirror learns.

Political sources said that some key ministers might face a shuffle, in a last-minute announcement by the President, similar to the cabinet reshuffle which took place in August.

Sources said that this was discussed before Minister Basil left the country and is likely to be carried out upon his return.

Several key ministers when questioned last night said they were unaware of the reshuffle but confirmed that they too had heard the rumors circulating within the government.

However, who will face changes or come under the axe is yet to be revealed. In the cabinet reshuffle in August, the cabinet of ministers were left in the dark till a last-minute announcement was made by President Rajapaksa. (JAMILA HUSAIN)

However much you reshuffle ,since all the eggs are rotten you will never be able to find a good one.

I feel pity for those minisiters who are helpless and boneless and only to dance the tunes of the Rajapaksas.

Basil is the biggest joker to ever become a finance minister. A known thief and commission agent. Thanks to the very long standing UNP boss RW he got away with daylight robberies.

Very weak guys like HeroSEKARA and Morning Pila may get axed.

WHAT'S the point shuffling or reshuffling is done amongst the rogues and frauds no! Taking one rogue from one place and putting him in another place is NOT going to change his nature??? If people are to get any relief from the deplorable and despicable situation they are in the rogues should go LOCK, STOCK AND BARREL!!!

Sanath Wednesday, 22 December 2021 10:02 AM

What is the use? It is the same useless idiots that are being re-shuffled.
