Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa became the only member of the family to retain a Cabinet position in his younger brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa's new Cabinet of 17 ministers appointed on Monday, as the island nation was facing the worst economic crisis. Earlier this month, Sri Lanka's entire Cabinet resigned from their posts after thousands of people defied a countrywide state of emergency.
