The new Cabinet of Ministers do not agree with the principle of good governance which the government keeps on mentioning, JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said.

Speaking at a press conference in Colombo, Dissanayake said that the government should have established the Constitutional Council if it was concerned about establishing good governance.

Furthermore, he argued that the increasing of the number of the Cabinet Ministers is unconstitutional. The opinion of the Supreme Court should have been sought in this matter, Dissanayake added.

The appointment of Ministries has been done in an unscientific manner as before and shows only an attempt to consolidate power, Dissanayake also argued.
