Not sure of that but he had made some controversial statements which he should not have. That is his prerogative but IMO he is a marked man, and anymore incongruous statements will see him marched out.

Yes, Tissa. That was when the NPP was in the opposition and protesting. But now, this guy will be a most trusted fellow of the government. People will someday relise how they were nicely fooled to for the NPP to grab power.

Not sure about that. But he is directly involved in debt restructuring process. So he has to stay. And they are doing a good job regarding debt restructuring.

Good decision. Criticize him only until you come to power. Reappoint him after, cuz you FINALLY realize that none of what you said truly made sense. 'Haahaa kamak ne api Maalimawata'..
