Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse on Jan. 1, 2009 effected a minor change to his Cabinet of Ministries, presidential officials told reporters.
Rajapakse himself had taken over the functions of the Ministry of Media and Information by moving the incumbent Anura Yapa to the Ministry of Investment Promotion.
Dr. Sarath Amunugama who held the Investment Promotion subject has been moved to the Ministry of Public Administration and Home Affairs, filling in the void created by Karu Jayasuriya, a main opposition defector who last month re-joined the main opposition United National Party.
