Abstract
BLATANTLY FALSE: If we are to convene parliament, the chief government whip and other key positions must be sworn in as cabinet ministers, if they are to remain in those positions. It was due to this that Hon. Johnston Fernando and Hon. Dinesh Gunawardena were sworn in as minister of highways and minister of education respectively. – Namal Rajapaksa, Daily Mirror Online, 05 April 2022.
