Why not inform the whole UNP opposition what ministries they will be given and I'm sure all of them including Ranil will join the government and create another world record for the Genis Book?

Better if he increase the figure to 100 in order to have a unique round figure.

However, goodluck. at least they can get a duty free vehicle.

Isnt it better to appoint all govt MPs as ministers. Really funny to read most of the ministries.
10 ministries split into 60 plus, in fools paradise.
