Govt. not serious about consensual governance – Sirisena
Former President SLFP leader Maithripala Sirisena says that the by awarding ministerial positions to Opposition MPs, the government has demonstrated that it is not serious about forming an all-party government.
Sirisena has said that those who obtained state ministerial posts defied a party decision approved at an SLFP convention recently. The party had decided to accept ministerial posts only in a truly all-party interim government. The government was acting against the wishes of the Maha Sangha and other religious leaders, the former President has said.
