Splendid ! Perfect National Government. SLFP commands the majority in the Cabinet and perhaps Ranil will take a back seat to accommodate all these new comers. Poor Rev. Rathane and his Hela Uramaya clan and also what a sad state of affairs for the Vociferous Comrades. Hon President SIR please increase the no. of Ministers and please include our Dr.Mervin from down South to add more muscles to the Cabinet.
Before the election, how many ministers did he say he will appoint?
Can this man count numbers? or did he cheat the voters? (generally called “Gonaata Anduwa”)
Excuse me. I forgot to mention about the Grand old Lady of the present day Sri Lankan politics and also about the King maker Most Rev. Sobitha.
President Sir , you would have heard about the adage ‘ hell knoweth no fury as a woman scorned’. It is also true about the good High Priest.
Please fall at their feet ,seek forgiveness and offer them two Posts of President’s Advisors.
After all they did not have blink of sleep during the election time in making you the King.
They deserve nothing but the Best.
