That's a good move by you Mr. Minister. Also a good chance for Mr. Sajith and Mr.Champika to prove their capabilities to bring Oil and Gas at an affordable price.

Patchwork solutions will not work. Bring a System Change for good governance. People-friendly constitution, a meaningful electoral system, where transparency, accountability, and meritocracy will prevail.

How about leader of the opposition. Remember his fairy tales of getting oil from 3 countries.

Please appoint World Bank Procurement Agency to handle all tenders. Only way to control the Government Private sector corruption

Very good suggestion by the Hon. Minister . The responsibility of getting the necessary Coal , Diesel ,Petrol and Gas etc should be handled by a parliamentary joint committee involving opposition members. Then we all can see a better out come for this problem of commission allegations.

For Sajith its very simple. He will give few calls to middle eastern countries and there will be a long que of fuel ships which will be in competition to dock at Port to deliver the cargo.

Passing the ball is not the solution. Have an election and ensure that those contestants have a proper education. Put a proper system in place. By the way daily mirror never publishes my remarks. Very biased

Of course the Hon Opps leader will take up the challenge! On several conditions. President should immediately resign along with prime minister. Then a general election should be called immediately. Next depending on the outcome of events, they 'may' take up the challenge!

First real good idea by the Minister. Provide those who claim they can full six months of the Ministry for CEB. Create new State Minister for CEB even. There is much complex trouble in many ways, and new eyes and minds if they willing to do it should be allowed. Minister's ideas were poor, but then again others have no opportunity to do much in opposition either. Hope a MP or group of MPs from opposition take up the challenge.

Actually its a very good model to follow for large scale purchases. The minister and at least 3/4 representatives from the opposition should be invited to sit on large expense tender boards.
