(UTV|COLOMBO) – President Maithripala Sirisena says a responsible and credible Cabinet of Ministers that would be recognized by the general public will be appointed.
The President made the comment giving an interview to the BBC Sinhala Service. President Sirisena was interviewed during his visit to London for attending the CHOGM.
The President said that the new cabinet of Ministers will be announced by next week. The new cabinet cannot be branded as an amended thing of the previous one.
The president emphasized that it will be a new cabinet of Ministers in every aspect. The subjects will be divided among the Ministers in a scientific manner. The President said that the number of Ministers of the cabinet cannot be predicted at present. He also stressed that measures will be taken to check the track record of the Ministers who would be nominated for the cabinet positions. The President stated that the cabinet should be credible and recognized by the people.
Any individual who could be appointed for a Ministerial position in the cabinet should be recognized not only in the domestic context but also at the international arena.
The President said that, hence, attention is drawn on qualifications of the Ministers when the appointments are being made. He said that it is inevitable to work ignoring international politics. Even world powers need to strengthen international ties. The President highlighted that developing countries like Sri Lanka are compulsory to think about foreign relations.
