A group of MPs will take oaths as Ministers before President Maithripala Sirisena as Ministers at the Presidential Secretariat. 

Sources close to President said that the brief ceremony would take place at 6 pm. 

It is widely speculated that SLFP National Organizer Duminda Dissanayake will also be among the new ministers taking oaths today. 

Former Minister Basil Rajapaksa held two discussions with Dissanayake at the latter's residence yesterday.
