President appoints Vadivel as State Minister, Moulana as Non-Cabinet Minister

two greedy fellows but these appointments are technically illegal as it is an election time. Probably these can result in RW loosing the candidacy as well. He has violated the election multiple times now.

This is called the vagabond political culture certain parliamentarians who are crossing over to the ruling party from the opposition is ridiculous. The parliamentarians are elected by people by casting their democratic votes in order to get their aspirations and demands fulfilled. Despite the aspirations of the general public. The relentless and shrewd parliamentarian so elected are trying to overstay in the parliament so as to enjoy the privileges and perks. Therefore the special bill should be introduced to the parliament in order to prevent the parliamentarians from crossing over from one party to another

The often absurd political behavior of President Ranil, who is still in office for four weeks, continues with the appointment of two ministers who are targeting Muslim votes! The growing insecurity of the future election loser is manifesting itself in increasingly senseless political actions!

Who is to bear the expenses incurred on the perks of these clowns? Its the public. How much is the loss of revenue to the state in the VFS deal? Again its to the public this revenue is lost. Now see who is boosting "Puluwan Srilanka"? Sic......

So it is now very clear why they crossed over to Ranil. For a mess of pottage they sold their souls or whatever was left of their honour. And all this while Ranil posed off as a Mr. Clean and a democrat. You can judge someone when he actually has power. Absolute power corrupts.

You cannot shut the ministry because there is no minister! Thursday, 22 August 2024 08:34 AM

Timely decision to appoint ministers to take care of ministries. Otherwise one of the following will happen. Just neglect ministries because the President cannot attend to everything; or the officials will have run the show and listen to interference from all sides; Money is already allocated for a minister, so why not appoint one, and get the work done?

What is amusing is that all most all candidates have rushed to the Chief Prelates to get their blessings for success at the hustings except for two candidates others have not commented on the abolishing of the presidency surprisingly including the current president. Throughout the last few years we have seen non indigenous institutions interfering in state administration Under this situation the Maha Sangha has a supreme role taking to task any of these candidates violating the constiution with impunity
