Labour and Trade Union Relations Minister W.D.J. Seneviratne yesterday said he would be pleased if he was given some other ministerial portfolio instead of labour, as he could perform better.
He said he had already made a request to President Maithripala Sirisena for a change in the ministerial portfolio.
“I served as the Labour Minister for four long years, and was later given the same portfolio. Today, some of my ministerial subjects have been removed. Therefore, I would like to have a different portfolio to serve the country better,” the minister told journalists following a workshop held in Wellawatte recently.
He said he had served as the minister of Health, Power and Energy, Justice and Public Administration in the past, and that he would be happy if he was given a ministry with such prominence.
Commenting on the alleged Cabinet reshuffle, the minister said he was aware of the news but no discussion had been made in the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) or in the Cabinet on this matter so far.
However, Minister Seneviratne admitted that there were setbacks in the government as there were people's issues that needed to be addressed immediately. (Lahiru Pothmulla and Indika Sri Aravinda)

These senior ministers should be given a ministry where they can do some work and earn a substantial reward or commission for their hard work.

How much you can do Mr Minister for the working class of the country and for productivity. Human resource is the wealth of the country. Only thing is you cant make money in this Ministry

So, dear minister, you accept that you did not perform in the current portfolio! What guarantee MS has that you will perform better with other portfolios?
