“These ministers are granted numerous facilities at the expense of the public,” Premadasa pointed out. Premadasa made these observations at a meeting held in Puttalam.
“The Government is planning to have 20 Cabinet Ministers, 37 State Ministers and 12 more Ministers that would make 69 Ministerial portfolio holders.
