It is not necessary to take instructions from anyone, when allocating seats for the new Prime Minister and the Cabinet, the Leader of the House Dinesh Gunawardene said.

He said as it had already been gazetted, the appointment of the new Prime Minister and the Cabinet, it is the responsibility of the Sergeant-at-arms to allocate the seats as soon as possible.

Mr. Gunawardene was replying to a question asked about the statement made by the Sergeant-at-arms that he is awaiting instructions from the Speaker to allocate seats and in accordance with the gazette notification.

He also said that this matter would be raised at the party leaders meeting to be held today. (Sujith Hewa Julige)

Dinesh the Scumbag!!!

A very very sad statement. Show how low our social etiquette has dropped. I use public transport and most do not know where to sit and how to sit. This man's behavior in parliament is the same.

Dinesh Gunawardane is another product from that useless Royal college colombo like Ranil Wicks. Dinesh’s father of MEP hung on to Dudley’s Govt till he got the Fisheries Minister. Don’t allow a Royalist to enter the Parliament and ruin this country. Ranil and Royal Cabal have destroyed the country and UNP.

Don't compare a mountain with a rat which can not do anything other than talking racism

The Speaker doesn't recognize MR as PM so he sure doesn't recognize you as the Leader of House either

Nimal Wednesday, 07 November 2018 09:36 AM

Based on the Constitution of Sri Lanka, can there a new cabinet and a new PM appointed outside the Parliament?

Arjuna Ranawana Wednesday, 07 November 2018 09:54 AM

Hon. MP ! Please see Hon. Speaker's statues announcement.

Lord Wolfstein Wednesday, 07 November 2018 10:14 AM

Perhaps the throne of former Emperor Bokassa of Central Africa is available for MR.

J-Hatton Wednesday, 07 November 2018 12:55 PM

Which means there is NO protocol to follow under MR's regime as usual.....?????

MODA BURUWA Wednesday, 07 November 2018 02:06 PM

MR and the JOkers know NOTHING called PROTOCAL s.

Ajja Wednesday, 07 November 2018 01:28 PM

There is a feeling that MR will withdraw from Premiership at the last minute before the Voting begins and will be a massive slap on the face of M3 the Mahadana Muttha.

nimesh Wednesday, 07 November 2018 02:06 PM

u are right ,,MR will withdraw as he doesnt have the required numbers
