Six UNP MPs have submitted another motion to the Secretary-General of Parliament today (21) stating that secretaries to any and all ministries do not have authority to approve any payment of monies drawn from the funds of the republic.
They stated that as the cabinet stood dissolved in terms of Article 48 of the constitution, the House resolved that from 15 November 2018, "secretaries to any and all ministries have no authority to approve any payment for the salaries of other emoluments of Ministers, State Ministers, Deputy Ministers and their personal staff".
