Sirisena Stirs Up Another Controversy By Appointing Ministry Secretaries Without Consulting Line Ministers
President Maithripala Sirisena stirred up a hornet's nest yesterday when
he changed the Secretaries of social ministries without consulting line
ministers.
The Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Recourses, the Ministry of
Justice, the Ministry of Urban Planning and Water Supply, the Ministry
of Law and Order, the Ministry of Postal Services and Muslim Religious
Affairs and the Ministry of Special Assignments have got new
Secretaries.
Informed government sources said the line ministers were disappointed
and dissatisfied with the President's conduct. Among them are some
influential Cabinet Ministers representing the SLFP.
However, the circumstances leading to the 'reshuffle' of ministry
secretaries are still not clear. Sources close to the President said it
was aimed at making the state machinery more efficient.
It is learnt that the issue will be raised by the disgruntled Ministers at the next Cabinet meeting .
