Rebel UNP
Vikalpa group members Sarath Amunugama and Nanda Mathew who were serving as
ministers with special assignments were given important new portfolios by President
Kumaratunga yesterd Dr Sarath Amunugama
and Mr Nanda Mathew were sworn-in before President Kumaratunga, Amunugama as Minister of Rehabilitation, Reconstruction and Development of the
Northern Region, and Mathew as Minister of Shipping and Shipping
Development. The two newly sworn-in ministers of the government addressing the media at Minister Amunugama's residence after they took oaths at Temple Trees yesterday afternoon expressed their gratitude to the President for giving them the new portfolios. The
Ministers said that the President had shown
confidence in them by awarding them the new appointments. The two
Ministers also said that they would work towards democratising the UNP's
party constitution. Referring to their break-away from the party as part
of the moves to change the UNP party constitution, they emphasized that the
media should expose the constitutions of other parties and compare them
with that of the UNP. The UNP party
constitution is shrouded with secrecy, they added.
