President Maithripala Sirisena, yesterday, admitted that he held extensive discussions with the Prime Minister on the course of the government, following the defeat of the No-Confidence Motion.
The President was addressing the heads of media institutes at the President’s House in Colombo, yesterday.
He said that a committee has been appointed to decide on the modalities and the way forward. The President added that there would be a Cabinet reshuffle and the subjects will be allocated on a scientific basis.
He said that the functions of the Economic Management Committee had now been absorbed by the Cabinet and the Economic Management Committee had been scrapped through a consensus.
The Cabinet, as one unit, will discuss these matters in the future.
“Therefore, there would be only one institution to take decisions instead of two,” he said.
