Most Expenditure Heads of the Ministry of Internal & Home Affairs and Provincial Councils & Local Government and all Expenditure Heads of the Ministry of Megapolis and Western Development were defeated yesterday after a group of United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MPs affiliated to the "Joint Opposition" unexpectedly asked for a vote.
Mr Wickremesinghe told Parliament that the Government lost the votes yesterday as not enough MPs were present in the House at the time. "The poor attendance of MPs was a fault on our part. We will get those Expenditure Heads passed after making the necessary amendments," he stated
