Minister of Youth and Sports Namal Rajapaksa says that he is ready to resign from his ministry post if necessary. He was responding to a proposal made by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party to reduce the number of cabinet members.
Former President Maithripala Sirisena, the chairman of the SLFP, has proposed to reduce the number of cabinet ministerial posts in the face of the crisis facing the country.
Namal Rajapaksa says the SLFP, which is proposing the resolution, should resign from its cabinet posts and set an example for other ministers. If so, Namal Rajapaksa says he is ready to set an example for Pohottuwa.
