The UNP has proposed his name for the Ministerial portfolio.
At Sunday’s Cabinet reshuffle, the subject was assigned to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. However, the UNP said it was a temporary arrangement till a new Minister was appointed.
The Daily Mirror learns that President Maithripala Sirisena had reservations about the appointment of Field Marshall Fonseka as the Law and Order Minister following objections by some senior officers, who held the rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police (IGP). (Kelum Bandara)
