He is running with the unions and hunting with the government.

An epitome of inefficiency, he is not capable of looking after our interests.

A very promising politician who is unable to deliver.

Anything this man touches turns into a mess.

As Minister of Petroleum Resources, he has made fuel a curse for the public.

With him a rival, the JVP needs no friends.

The day he was appointed a minister, we knew he was unable to ‘deliver’.

Mr. Minister put your foot down and tell the strikers enough is enough: We are with you.

This man is trying to explore oil though he cannot distribute what is in storage tanks.

Mumbo-jumbo of a jumbo cabinet member.

I have oiled my bicycle to face a future CPC strike.

Minister Fowzie, could you do us a favour? Please resign; Do not waste our money!

You promised us cooking gas at affordable prices, didn’t you?

Are your ready for Nov. 11, Mr. Minister?

I have a solution for the fuel problem; the government should distribute bullock carts under ‘Mahinda Chintanaya’ programme.

Don’t tell us when CPC goes on strike, walking is good for the health.

When unions and the minister have a bout, let’s foot it out.
