The newly appointed Ministers are expected to ‘hit the ground running’ as they begin their duties from this week, in accordance with the direction given by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and, not indulge in fanfare and cultivation of loyalties, the ‘Sunday Observer’ learns. The fifteen-member Cabinet of Ministers start work on a tight leash with strict rules about staff appointments and a strong ‘no-no’ on extravagant expenditure. Ministers of State are expected to be appointed in the course of tomorrow, according to government sources.
