The Sri Lanka Freedom Party submitted a nine-point proposal to President Ranil Wickremesinghe setting out the structure for a future National Government. The proposal was presented to the President during the meeting held yesterday with former President Maithripala Sirisena and several members of the SLFP at the Ministry of Finance.

Among the proposals set out, the SLFP has suggested the establishment of a Crisis Management Cabinet and the inclusion of all Members of Parliament in the attached committees for Ministries, as well as the appointment of an Advisory Committee consisting of experts and intellectuals to each Ministry. In a release, the party said it also presented its stance about the structure and responsibilities of the National Assembly to be established in the Parliament.

Representatives of the SLFP said the President appeared favourable to the proposals presented and he suggested that several rounds of discussions should take place in this regard. “The economic and political programs of a National Government were widely discussed, and an agreement is expected to be reached in the next few days,” the release said.

Accordingly, discussions are set to be held in the next few days between a group of representatives of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and a group of Government representatives. This will be followed by another meeting between President Wickremesinghe and former President Maithripala Sirisena.
