A Cabinet that Works : Ministries in Sri Lanka Parliamentary Research Team, Verité Research The role played by the Cabinet of Ministers is critical to ensure that the government functions efficiently and effectively. Verité Research has found that the way in which Cabinet portfolios are designed in Sri Lanka impedes the ability of government to be effective. It found that the problem of irrational, larger-than-necessary, unstable Cabinet ministries has been common across successive governments during the 2010-2020 period.Therefore, fixing these problems is critical to have a government that functions efficiently and effectively. Based on its research, Verité Research provides a model sample of 15 ministries that can minimise irrationality and fragmentation. 20p.

Blueprint for a Rational Government in Sri Lanka : Proposed Ministries, Departments, Corporations and Statutory Institutions and Their Relevant Laws, Duties, and Functions Parliamentary Research Team, Verité Research; Manthri.lk ‘Blueprint for a Rational Government in Sri Lanka‘, created by Verité Research and Manthri.lk, seeks to implement the recommendations from the White Paper on “A Rational Method for Cabinet Formation in Sri Lanka“, published in 2020. It lists down the duties and functions, institutions, and acts to be implemented under the 15 ministries proposed in the annexures of the White Paper, following revisions that were supported by extensive expert consultation. This document is the blueprint by which governments can solve 3 key issues relating to irrational cabinet formation: 1.Misalignment of subjects - Unrelated subjects being grouped together under one ministry. 2. Fragmentation of subjects - Related subjects being split across different ministries. 3. Not having a fixed structure for ministries and their institutions. - Ministry purviews often change alongside ministerial appointments and shuffles, resulting in institutions shifting from ministry to ministry. The document takes on the form of an extraordinary gazette and serves as a starting point for a more effectively and efficiently structured form of government. 81p. - This document is compiled only based on Extraordinary Gazettes published in the Department of Government Printing website between the period April 2010 and July 2022. The numbers of Extraordinary Gazettes used for this study are as follows: 1651/20, 1933/13, 2103/34, 2153/12, 2176/23, 2187/27 and 2289/43.
