Colombo (LNW): Tourism Minister Harin Fernando’s ceaseless absence at the Cabinet meetings over the past weeks has raised speculations about the ‘opposition MP-turned-rogue’ Minister’s stance in serving in the Cabinet, in what theorists suggest as a signal to turn down the Ministry.
Being a member of the Cabinet, which is the Executive body that approves the highest decisions of the state administration, one should attend to all Cabinet meetings, bearing the collective responsibility of the Cabinet, considered of which a number of Cabinet Ministers have already warned Fernando not to miss the meetings.
But Fernando has seemingly not changed his habit of avoiding these meetings, hence the speculations being surfaced, according to sources.
Political sources claimed that the Tourism Minister’s ceaseless conduct has also attracted President Wickremesinghe’s special attention, raising the possibility of developing a ground for the two to personally discuss this matter soon.
