September 04, 2015

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said that the Parliamentary Committee system will be strengthened in such a manner that all parties are able to get involved in the government.

Speaking at the swearing-in of new ministers of the government, Wickremesinghe recalled that such a system was instituted under the Donoughmore reforms of 1931.

Meanwhile, Development Coordination Committees will also be established, the Prime Minister said.

Accordingly, all the MPs could then take responsibilities in governing the country, he stressed.
