Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena commenced a special party leaders' meeting in Parliament a short while ago to decide how to proceed with parliamentary proceedings given the current situation.
The Speaker convened the meeting at 2.00pm after many MPs from the opposition and even some in the government called for such a meeting, pointing out that they could no longer proceed with the original agenda given that the Cabinet of Ministers has resigned and only four new ministers have so far been sworn in.
The Committee on High Posts has approved the nomination of Former Air Force Commander Air Chief Marshal (Retd.)
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
