Colombo (News1st) – UPFA MP Shehan Semasinghe believes that PM Ranil Wickremesinghe has no moral rights to accept a cabinet ministerial positions as he is accused of being the mastermind behind the Central Bank Bond Scam.

Semasinghe noted that those with major allegations against them have received the most number of portfolios and explained that the Government of Ranil Wickremesinghe has given their approval to steal public funds and rob the people. He added that the MPs who worked fearlessly during the crisis have been tossed aside and the MPs who were hiding inside temple trees have been given a majority of the responsibilities. Semasinghe claimed that promises made by Wickremesinghe while powerless will never be fulfilled as that it a part of his character.

Speaking on the Vote on Account which was passed in Parliament on Friday (Dec 21), Semasinghe stated that the TNA has no chance of speaking about the position of opposition leader as they sided with the UNP and voted in favor of the vote on account. He noted that the TNA and UNP should form a national Government and make as many ministerial appointments as they need.
