(Lanka-e-News -14.Jan.2012, 6.30PM) At the impending Cabinet re shuffle, Chamal Rajapakse, the speaker of Parliament and elder brother of the regime chief is to be appointed as the Prime Minister (P M ), according to sources within the Govt. Since the health of the regime chief is rapidly deteriorating , this decision has been taken by the family regime . Under the laws of the country, if the President dies suddenly, it is the Prime Minister (PM) who takes over. The regime has paid serious attention to the necessity to deprive the present P M - D.M. Jayaratne of that opportunity.. The regime chief is on drugs and pills at regular intervals these days.
There had also been discussions to appoint Chamal as the P M , and to bring in Gotabaya to Parliament.
In any event , it is decided that the first synthetic lawyer of S L , Namal Rajapakse shall be appointed as a Deputy Minister of youth affairs at the next Cabinet re shuffle.
Writers like Vasanthapriya Ramanayake who was hired by the regime to extol the Govt. is now saddled with no option except write against the regime ,because the regime has muddled up and made a hash of every sphere of activity . The Govt. is in such a state of despair and despondency. To compound its confusion , Basil Rajapakse , it is learnt is slowly but surely building up a united base with the utterly disgruntled and disillusioned SLFP seniors . Currently , Basil is out of the country.
