The first cabinet meeting for the New Year will be held today (Jan 02). It is to be chaired by President Maithripala Sirisena.
After the appointment of PM Ranil Wickremesinghe, the new cabinet was sworn-in on Dec 20 of last month. A brief cabinet meeting was held on the same day in order to obtain approval for the vote on account.
At the time the portfolio of MInisters had not been gazetted. Accordingly, this will be the first cabinet meeting since the list of ministers were gazetted.
Ishara Sewwandi, the main suspect wanted for the shooting inside the Aluthkade No.05 Magistrate’s Court premises which killed alleged underworld figure ’’Ganemulla Sanjeewa,’’ has been arrested in Nepal.
