The provincial council system alone is a waste . Hardly has not bought any desired results but has become a den of corruption and employment agency for political drop offs.

Appointment of Mr.N.Vethanayagan is quite clearly shows AKD's intention to a corrupt free country. Well done Mr.President.

Wish all governors who are genuine educated service oriented. Particularly, N Vethanayagam was serving earlier as a SLAS officer, and government agent of Jaffna. Due to political reasons during GR rule he was forced to retire

You have an uncorrupted Judge who knows in an out about the matters, crimes in the province now he oversees. You have a experienced CEO who oversaw a multi billion company to take in charge of the commerce of the Western Province. You have the unbent government servant with decades worth of services in the North who understands the plight of its people more than anyone. And the lost goes on. These are great appointments.

The direction of the new government seems to be in the right path. The earlier northern governor resigned from the election commission at a crucial point and was rewarded with that post. She was a mere clown of her political masters at the province and also at the central.

Bandula Harischandra was boot licking the Rajapaksas when he was appointed secretary (for the first time in his career) under Gotabhaya. He carried out political witch hunts against public servants on Rajapaksa orders. His actions were abhorrent. Most shocking appointment under this government.
