Minister of Public Enterprise Development, Upcountry Heritage and Kandy Development, Lakshman Kiriella has complained to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe about being given only four institutions confined to name boards.

Mr. Kiriella told journalists that his ministry had been turned into a non-governing body due to his opposition in parliament during the constitutional crisis, and the fight he led for democracy as leader of the parliament.

He added that his ministry had been ignored as an act of revenge because he had tried to strengthen the Speaker while fighting to protect the honour of parliament. (Ranjan Kasthuri)
