New Memorandum of Understanding Between SLFP & UNP

SLFP General Secretary and Minister Duminda Dissanayake said, that  the SLFP and the UNP will sign a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together in the Government following the ongoing talks.

Two ministerial groups presently engaged in discussions would come up with a common programme for the two parties to govern together for the remainder of 18 months.

The new programme will get off the ground with a ceremonial sitting in Parliament on May 8.

It will be a comprehensive and strong programme acceptable and beneficial to the country.

The details are now being worked out and the SLFP has appointed a five-member committee headed by Minister Dr. Sarath Amunugama for the purpose. Once finalised the two parties will endorse it as an MoU,  he said.

He further said the ministry subjects would be revised in a rationale manner during the upcoming Cabinet reshuffle.
