Reliable sources inform that the President has decided to appoint State Ministers before the vote on the second reading of the budget, which will be held tomorrow.
The sources indicate that this was due to the strong influence exerted by the members of Pohottuwa on the president that they would not vote in favor of the budget if they were not appointed as state ministers.
A few former state ministers in Pohottuwa, who met the president the other day, had also taken steps to inform the president that they should be given state ministerial positions once again.
Accordingly, it has been learned that the president has decided to give these state ministerial positions before the budget vote is held tomorrow.
