Group of SLPP parliamentarians clamoring for ministerial positions!
A fierce battle is said to be happening between Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) parliamentarians in order to obtain ministerial positions, according to internal government sources.
This group is said to be meeting the President and the Prime Minister periodically to obtain these positions and also trying to influence them through other parties.
The Cabinet is scheduled to be limited to 25, including the president and prime minister. However, already 13 Cabinet ministers out of the allotted 23 have been sworn in. The SLPP is scheduled to get around 10 ministerial slots, while five have already been sworn in.
