MP Sagala Ratnayake in a letter to the Prime Minister's Secretary has demanded facilities and staff of the Prime Minister while saying that he continues to hold office as the Prime Minister's Chief-of-staff.
MP Ratnayake made this claim based on Speaker Karu Jayasuriya's letter on November 05 which stated that Ranil Wickremesinghe will continue to be accpeted as the legitimate Prime Minister until the new government proves its majority in Parliament.
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is due to vacate his official residence at Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo this morning, a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) source said.
The Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Bill was passed by a majority of 150 in parliament today. However the opposition MP’s were absent during the voting.
