People who says that mahinda has become strong by this UNP dissidents are people who dont have basic instincts of politics.

Although I am a UNP supporter, the addition of UNP dissidents to the government is not all that bad a thing. Most of them (like Karu J. as Minister of Power) did a fantastic job during 2001-2004. THe rapid economic growth, fiscal discipline (bandula gunawardene), no power cuts were all because they did their duty well.
Also they can push for devolution of power/federal solution.
Also they will make mahinda less dependent on JVP/JHU pro-war racists.

With that 25 MP, What MR tries to do,

1) To minimize the threat by his own party.
There is a significant number of MPs who oppose him in his own party. CB tries to get their support to trouble MR and now they have to rethink before doing anything to harm MR.
MR knows that JVP and JHU will never topple the Government.

2) To convince IC that his party is not Sinhalese nationalist any more. JVP was sidelined.

3) There is no threat by Ranil W until next election.

I hope ministries were given according to their talents not according to how much money they want to make out of it.

FOOD FOR OUR THOUGHTS

Sri Lanka is teeming with ministers. With 104 ministers, Sri Lanka today has the largest council of ministers in the South Asian region.

It may be the only country where 92% of the MPs in the ruling coalition (104 out of 113) are ministers! Practically every government MP in Sri Lanka is a minister of one kind or another.

46% of the total membership of the House (104 out of 225) are ministers.

India, with a population of 1.1 billion, has only 73 ministers. Pakistan with a population of 168 million, has just 16. But Sri Lanka with a mere 20 million has 104 ministers.

With the expansion of the Council of Ministers on Sunday, including the induction of 24 from the opposition United National Party (UNP) and the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC), the number of ministers had jumped from 70 to 104.

There are now 52 cabinet ministers, 33 non-cabinet ministers and 19 deputy ministers.

The president of Sri Lanka is not a member of parliament, but he can take ministerial portfolios. Mahinda Rajapaksa, for example, is minister of finance. If he is included, the number of cabinet ministers will be 53 and the total number of ministers will be 105.
