Minister of Regional Development Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka and Deputy Minister of Social Empowerment, Welfare and Kandyan Heritage, Ranjan Ramanayake appear to be aiming at the Law & Order Ministerial portfolio prior to the impending cabinet reshuffle.
Speaking to the media yesterday the minister said he could show quick results in apprehending wrong-doers if he is appointed as the minister of Law and order.
"I will show results in six months if I am given the portfolio of Law and Order," he said. According to sources, the Minister is said to be one of the frontrunners to be appointed as the new Minister of Law & Order.
There is a strong support to make Field Marshal Fonseka the next Law and Order minister with responsibilities over the police, sources said adding that both the president and the prime minister favoured the idea.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake has also said he too will work towards arresting wrong-doers quickly if he is at least appointed as the Deputy Minister of Law and Order.
