Parliament Adjourned For Ten Minutes Amidst Debate On National Government

September 03, 2015

Speaker Karu Jayasuriya adjourned the Parliamentary session for ten minutes amidst the debate on the national government.

Lawmakers debated on the definition of a national government, a novel experience in Sri Lanka.

The parliament is to decide on the size of the Cabinet of a national government today. However, some MPs contend that the UNP-SLFP agreement has not created a national government and strongly opposed the proposal to increase the number of Cabinet Ministers.
