COLOMBO, Sept. 30, 2024 — The first cabinet meeting under the newly appointed President of Sri Lanka, Mr. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, is set to be held today. This meeting marks a historic moment, as the cabinet consists of only three members, making it the smallest cabinet in the world.
The minimalist cabinet includes the president, the prime minister, and one minister. This lean structure aims to streamline decision-making and governance in the wake of the country’s political and economic challenges. The Government Information Department is expected to release details of the discussions and decisions from this meeting tomorrow.
This unconventional cabinet formation highlights the administration’s commitment to reducing bureaucracy while tackling pressing issues facing the country.
