The appointment of the new Cabinet will be delayed for another one week due to closed door discussions being underway with the parties on the formation of it , Daily Mirror learns .

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa is adamant that his Samagi Jana Balawegaya

(SJB) should not team up with the government. However , some of its MPs insist on the need to take up Cabinet responsibilities.

According to informed sources, these MPs want to hold ministerial responsibilities instead of heading parliamentary committees proposed to be set up as an initiative by President Ranil Wickremesinghe to strengthen the Legislature.

Sri Lanka Freedom Party( SLFP) is likely to join the government as a party .

The Tamil Progressive Alliance ( TPA), an ally of the SJB, has decided to delay its decision to join the government .

Its presidium met recently and decided to withhold taking any decision at this moment. (Kelum Bandara)

Time is of essense. Please make up your minds for the sake of the country and its people. No time to vasillate.

SJB doesn't have the best interest of the country or people. Just wants to grab the opportunity and come into power! The opportunity is running out. That's why they push for elections.

Anyone joining will not have much chance of coming back to the house. People must be told how long the set up will last!

Why no condition on releasing peaceful protestors, emergency, suppression of Human Rights, etc. As not transparent, it's a closed door without any plan, etc.

Sajith should think about country and support painful reform, before next election

Sajith show some maturity if you really love the people of this country. Help to get out of this mess. All of you can share the credit

All these fellows wanting Sajith to join the Govt. are those who want to destroy the SJB. As said by Sam, anyone joining will not have much chance to come back to the house.

Country first and party next Thursday, 18 August 2022 09:27 PM

Sajith hightime for you to think of the country first and your party next. Country has come out from the current current crisis situation and think of the people's plight and arrive at a wise decision.
