Ravi to quit shortly
By Akitha Perera and Upali de Saram-August 9, 2017, 10:42 pm
Following a meeting with President Maithripala Sirisena yesterday at the
Presidential Secretariat, Foreign Minister Karunanayake is likely to
quit his portfolio shortly, according to sources.
A government spokesman said Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, too, had attended the meeting at President Sirisena’s request.
Several SLFP ministers have demanded Karunanayake’s resignation pending
the presidential commission of inquiry probe into alleged Central
Bank-Perpetual Treasuries bond scams. They have called upon him to quit
without facing the Joint Opposition’s no-faith motion.
Minister Karunanayake didn’t attend Cabinet meeting yesterday.
At the Cabinet meeting several ministers voiced concern over the way the
Attorney General’s Department had questioned the Finance Minister on
Aug 2. Health Minister Dr. Rajitha Senaratne claimed that the Attorney
General’s Department had acted differently in cases where the bigwigs of
the previous administration were implicated.
Minister Senaratne said the AG’s Department should swiftly act on those cases, too.
