The remaining Cabinet ministers of the new government will be sworn in today by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Daily Mirror learns.

Two MPs from the independent group of Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna- Susil Premajantha and Anura Priyadarshana Yapa- will also be among them. Besides, Nimal Siripala de Silva and Mahinda Amaraweera of Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) will also join the new Cabinet.

Daily Mirror learns that two members of Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) are likely to take up positions in the new Cabinet regardless of their party’s decision not to be an ally of the government.

The portfolios such as justice and law and order have been reserved for MPs from the ruling SLPP. Later, around 25 state ministers are set to be appointed. The Ceylon Workers’ Congress (CWC) is also having talks with the new government for acceptance of ministerial posts. (Kelum Bandara)

We were told that this an interim government and will not have more than 15 ministers. But now by the day what we see is that we would exceed the 225. No wonder the people are asking all 225 to get out.

For sure one of the SJB will be the balloon man. He love the country and want to work hard for the people.

The appointees to the Government should be committed to solve the problems in the country and NOT think of their PERKS and COMMISSIONS.

Gota its time for you to go home. Enough is enough. No one seems to be getting together with PM to solve the problems. If Gota is sent away there will be some progress. Bad luck Gota nothing seems to be working.

Please do not appoint Siripala, who has several allegations regarding bribes.
