The first meeting of the new Cabinet of Ministers is scheduled to be held this afternoon under the chairmanship of President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. The Cabinet was sworn in before President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on the 18th.
Also, the institutions and areas to be assigned to the new Ministers will be issued by a Gazette Notification.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the Prime Minister is scheduled to present a Cabinet paper to the Cabinet today approving the repeal of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution and the enactment of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution.
Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena stated that the two Parliamentary Independent Group and the Samagi Jana Balawegaya had submitted the two proposals for the 21st Amendment to the Constitution to the Cabinet, which were handed over to the Speaker last week.
Accordingly, the forthcoming 21st Amendment to the Constitution is to be referred to the Legal Draftsman’s Department and presented to Parliament with the approval of the Cabinet.
However, in the current social, economic and political struggles, different news is being created from time to time. Since everything is changing and changing to their own advantage, much of what is reported in the face of the current problematic situation is reported in the form of “gossip.”
