    Same shit again! 225 morons who called themselves MPs have chosen a scum called Ranil W as the president. HE who has failed time and again to garner a majority in parliament since becoming a PM in the late 1990s and all that time has never completed the full term! And now we shall see if he last the full term this time around! And then you get another dipshit as the PM!? What on earth is happening in Sri Lanka? Will the 22 million people keep quiet and carry on with their daily lives? I'm sorry for the 22 million people as they are going to suffer for many more years to come! With the shit that's going on with the politically disgraceful politicians in parliament, is there a light at the end of the tunnel, I can't see it? What Sri Lanka need now is a miracle! But unfortunately, miracle does not happen everyday! Good luck and God Bless Sri Lanka!!!

    What could the convict Ranatunga possibly contribute? A cabinet of thieves and thugs quite unwanted by the people.

    TONI Friday, 22 July 2022 07:26 PM

    SAME OLD CABINET THAT GOTA APPOINTED. SO WE CAN ONLY EXPECT CONTINUATION OF THE PAST

    Ali Sabry surely the worlds biggest joker. Justice, Finance and Foreign Affairs in 4 months. Wonder how many brains he has.

    Charles Jansz Friday, 22 July 2022 08:06 PM

    Ghosts at work...so it is old wine in old bottles !

    Nice but a cunning move to appoint a lawyer as a foreign minister. Looking to campaign for support from the OIC.

    The same old Pohottouw goons are back with a new leader. SL will never prosper with these useless p[politicians.
