Finance Minister Ali Sabry who was appointed to the portfolio yesterday has resigned from his position in less than 24 hours.

In a resignation letter sent to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa today, Sabry said that he has accepted the portfolio only as an interim measure and if the President wishes to appoint a suitable person to handle the situation from outside the current Parliament, he was also willing to step down from his parliamentary seat.

Good move but your political career is over, even your professional career should be questioned with the decisions you have made with the Rajapakses. Accepting the Finance portfolio, even briefly, was the last straw.

Sabry is a hypocrite, and a fool. When he could have said no, he went like a dog to lick the masters boots. Shame.

It is better for him if he is appointed as finance minister for the properties what all Rajapakses have looted from Sri Lanka.

The finance ministry is a poisoned chalice, unacceptable rollback of much spending on security apparatus, religious affairs etc and transparency required to satisfy IMF assistance conditions. This time our cunning wont work with IMF

Please appoint Padeniya as the next Finance minister. Afterall he took the GMOA on strike over a proposed free trade deal with Singapore a few years back. He is also a great Rajapakse arse licker.

Please people comparing these type of people to dogs is unfair, criminal and demeaning for the entire animal kingdom. These "humans" are a disgrace even for the creator. Devils descendents.
