Government to enhance its good governance : Cabinet re shuffle in the offing !
(Lanka-e-News -17.Dec.2016, 11.30PM) It is becoming increasingly clear that the expectations of the masses which campaigned with commitment to overthrow the Rajapakse regime , and to appoint a president and a government of good governance are not being fulfilled , and the popularity of the two chiefs of the consensual government are on the decline day by day. Hence the government has decided to take measures to enhance the image of the good governance , based on reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division.
Accordingly , to bring about the welcome change, the government has organized a massive propaganda program along with a celebration to mark the completion of its two years in power on 8th January 2017 , alongside the commencement of the proposed ‘ investment zone’ jointly with the Chinese government in Hambantota . Simultaneously , the government ‘s attention has been drawn to a Cabinet re shuffle with a view to somehow win back the pro government forces that are currently alienating themselves from good governance government .
Four ministers who have come in for heavy flak of the pro good governance forces are to be replaced via the re shuffle , and the government through that is hoping to please and fulfill the aspirations of the people’s forces that installed good governance in power.
Among the four ministers who would be affected by the re shuffle is a minister against whom the civil organization leaders have written five times to the president and the prime minister . These four ministers have incurred the displeasure of the president and P.M. , and now what remains is their joint decision only.
If the portfolios of four ministers are to be withdrawn or changed , the new ministers replacing them or four other ministers taking over their portfolios have to be done promptly . In that case about ten changes are likely to take place in the cabinet reshuffle.
It is the view of the neutral non partisan advisors that if the president does not accept the responsibility for the ministers ( henchmen of the president) who are engaging in scathing criticisms against the UNP which is the more powerful constituent of the consensual government , and does not silence them, it will be an index that those ministers have indulged in those denunciations with the blessings and on the advice of the president . Besides , if this cabinet re shuffle is obstructed by this group ,and it is postponed , it is the good governance government that will lose its popularity further among the pro good governance masses.

Meanwhile , a new propaganda machinery that is supportive of the UNP leader is to be launched by Arjun Aloysius early next year. That powerful media chain will comprise six newspapers, three television stations and three broadcasting stations . To begin with , there will be a Sinhala newspaper publication followed by the English newspaper ,and finally the Tamil newspaper.
