“We expect to appoint a cabinet of ministers within 48 hours,” UNP legislator and former state minister for finance Eran Wickramaratne said.<\/p>\n

“We will talk with party leaders and go for a debate or one or two days and seek approval.”<\/p>\n

“There will be no problem in paying salaries or meeting state expenditure in January,” Wickramaratne said.<\/p>\n

“No citizen need have any uncertainty about meeting payments.<\/p>\n

Wickremeratne said a full year budget will be presented to parliament in January and with the expectation of passing it in February.<\/p>\n

“We need 7 days debate and committee stage debate which requires 26 days,” Wickramaratne said.<\/p>\n

Wickramaratne said there will be a disciplined administration.<\/p>\n

“There should not be a more than 30 members in the cabinet,” Wickramaratne said. “There should fiscal discipline. This year there should not be new vehicle purchases. Foreign travel should be curtailed.<\/p>\n

“Sri Lanka is a small country. A cabinet of 30 ministers is more than enough.”<\/p>\n

“That is the public opinion”<\/p>\n
