Ranil Wickremesigne is obviously one of the few presidents in the world who have extraordinary abilities!!! A kind of "Superman", because what person is able to assume responsibility for five ministries!!! Given the special abilities of this president, with full concentration and focus on the enormous problems and challenges of his country, find the best and most lasting solutions for the elimination of the plight of the people and for the benefit of the nation!!! He just has to finally start doing it!!!

Ranil and the team over-worked Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:07 AM

This itself shows the trust Ranil has on his team on the abilities and honesty of limited group of people he is surrounded with. He has no choice to take in other new faces who are tarnished under Rajapassa regime. In the end all of them will be over worked!
