Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) MP Shantha Bandara was yesterday (11) sworn in as State Minister for Promoting the Production and Regulating Supply of Organic Fertiliser.
He is appointed to fill in the vacancy created by the resignation of former State Minister Shasheendra Rajapaksa, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.
His resignation came after reports that himself, alongside former ministers Basil Rajapaksa, Namal Rajapaksa, and Chamal Rajapaksa, had stated that they would not take up any Cabinet Ministerial portfolios in the future.
All Cabinet Ministers had decided to resign from their respective ministerial portfolios early this month.
