The appointment of new Cabinet Ministers is likely to be dragged in indefinitely, given the absence of a final decision on the affair, political sources disclosed.
Last week, 37 state ministers were appointed, but no Cabinet was appointed simultaneously.
President Wickremesinghe is set to leave for the United Kingdom to attend the funeral of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, but he is also on schedule to leave for Japan on an official tour prior to his visit to the Royal Family.
Meanwhile, the pending necessity to pass the proposed 22nd Amendment to the Constitution in Parliament is also on his way, hence the appointment of the new Cabinet being dragged in indefinitely.
