Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the newly elected President of Sri Lanka, took charge of the ministries of agriculture, lands, livestock, irrigation, fisheries, and aquatic resources on Thursday and allocated cabinet positions to various party leaders.
Dissanayake, leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna ( JVP ) and National People’s Power ( NPP ), announced the cabinet appointments on the social media platform X. The newly elected president made important demands of his administration clear in his post, including promoting a dedicated public service and eradicating rural poverty.
” I actually assumed duties as the Minister of Agriculture, Lands, Livestock, Irrigation, Fisheries, and Aquatic Resources today”, Dissanayake wrote on X.
The president emphasized the critical role that government officials play in achieving these objectives. The Ministry’s enormous contribution to eradicating rural poverty is what the state of our country is known for. I’m working with our engaged public servants to build an effective and responsive public service, he declared.
Nandika Sanayaka and Ravi Seneviratne were appointed as minister to the ministry of public security and Sampath Thuyacontha as minister to the ministry of defense in Dissanayake’s time case. Harini Amarasuriya was named prime minister, making her the second woman to hold the place, in addition to her tasks as minister for justice, knowledge, and employment.
Additionally, Dissanayake added that his administration may aim to safeguard both the dignity of people servants and voter pleasure and that traditional political sanctions would not be tolerated.
Dissanayake declared that” standard political violence will not be tolerated in the future.” We wo n’t engage in such media spectacles, as previous leaders have done, nor will we publicly criticize officials in front of the media. He continued,” My goal is to create a public company that honors the respect of public servants and satisfyes the needs of the people.”
Sajith Premadasa and Ranil Wickremesinghe, the former, defeated Dissanayake in the national poll. After his success, he called for cohesion among Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, and all Sri Lankans to develop a new beginning.
Dissanayake served as a member of legislature from 2000 to 2024 and formerly held the position of secretary of crops, cattle, property, and water from 2004 to 2005.
