A vote pulling exercise?

Is there are constitutional mandate for a National executive council? No parliamentary approval has been obtained for this council and the people have not given their mandate for such a council since this was not in the election manifesto of the president. This is something proposed by JVP, which was not a party that backed the president. What is the legality of decision made by NEC?

Be careful! There are thieves and murderer in the council team. Bunch of culprits got around Hon President to force him to ruin the country. Surely not a part of Yahapalanaya.
