A strong, talented new Cabinet – President
The new Cabinet of Ministers would be set up with a group of talented Parliamentarians who would be elected at the General Election 2020 to drive the country forward on the path of development, assured President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
The President also said that achieving development goals will not be difficult if bribery and corruption are eliminated.
He made these observations yesterday at the President’s House, Kandy at the Kandy Esala Perahera Conclusion Ceremony.
He said further that he got an opportunity to travel around the country within the last month and meet people of different communities where he could also get an understanding of their grievances and needs.
He said that among these issues were a land with clear deeds, a land fitting for cultivation, facilities for constructing a house, national schools for the children’s education and access to drinking water. He would be committed to fulfill the people’s aspirations. He stressed that he would work hard so that the people will not need to raise these issues again.
President Rajapaksa also said that if the public service is inefficient the country could not be developed. He added that the illicit drug menace had crippled society in many ways and assured that he wouldn’t let those inimical forces affect the society anymore.
He also said the people should have an understanding of the heritage of the country that protected the morals. He also added that the society that is molded by the temple, church, mosque and the Kovil could not be achieved by way of money.

Did your mommy drop you on the cement floor when you were an infant? What I am asking is were you born stupid or did you cultivate stupidity (e.g. like by associating Ponil the bungling, traitorous rat?) and excel at it as an adult? Either way, thanks for a good laugh retard! LMSAO!
Where is he going to get this strong talented cabinet?
Hey Ranjith,
He will find the “strong” Cabinet from among those who went to Parliament with Miris Kudu and smashed the Chair on the floor of Parliament and threw books at the Speaker.
Of course, Ministers managing >90% of Budget will be from the R Family.
Certainly not like by calling Arjun Mahendran to be the CB Chairman as Ponil did! Indeed some display of talent that was, giving rise to the biggest financial fraud ever in Sri Lanka’s history! That talent then made some filthy rich overnight and even the fat-cat Ravi K govt minister then got a luxury penthouse – for which when asked who is paying the rent, he said “I don’t know”….such were the high talent we saw under that Ponil+Marusira Yahapalanaya infamous regime! Yes, those were the days! Hahaha…
Dont forget the Murderers who are still in jail and the Kudu kings of the country. Learned weerawansa with be a senior minister, Cabral the bond crook will be minister of finance
