Mahinda Rajapaksa's absence at the swering in ceremony which took place at the President's House in Fort today morning has further widenened the political instability in the country presently. The Prime Minister however met the new cabinet at a separate meeting at Temple Trees a short while ago. (Jamila Husain)

What was the "experienced senior ministers" doing all this time? They had the experience and expertise to cheat and rob. The plain truth is that these fellows never let go but somehow try to cling on to power and enjoy all possible perks and privileges.

Why should he be unhappy ? The cabinet of senior ministers including himself have brought this country to this pathetic situation.
