What the Cabinet brings to the table
- The newly appointed Cabinet of Ministers consist of both young and veteran politicians
Following widespread public anger over the worsening economic crisis in Sri Lanka, the Cabinet of Ministers
resigned en-masse on April 3. The following day, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa appointed four ministers to maintain the affairs of the Parliament and other functions of the country until a full Cabinet is appointed.
With many in the opposition rejecting the President’s invitation to join the government in finding solutions to the ongoing crisis, on Monday a 17 member Cabinet of Ministers were sworn in. The Cabinet of Ministers’ mission is to provide all support services efficiently to the decision making process in fulfilling duties pertaining to the direction and control of the government. Their objective is to assist lawmakers and sub-committees of Parliament while making recommendations. In other words, the Cabinet is a body of senior ministers responsible and answerable to Parliament. The newly appointed Cabinet of Ministers consist of both young and veteran politicians, while a few have been elevated to senior ranks with little experience.
