Nelum Pokuna Only Place Big Enough To Hold Cabinet Meetings

The President this afternoon announced that, as a result of the on-going appointment of more people in to cabinet than there are posts, all cabinet meetings will have to be held at Nelum Pokuna as that is the only space able to accommodate all the ministers. Nelum Pokuna, which was also used during the a show a few years ago to display a series of bullet proof cars, otherwise known as CHOGM, will see an increased use as a result of this decision.

However, the board overseeing the hall have expressed concerns that if any further cabinet appointments are made, even Nelum Pokuna will not be able to accommodate the full group. Speaking to the media, the head of the Pokuna said “I heard they are going to appoint a Deputy Minister of Deputy Ministers. There are more people in the Cabinet than went to see the Pope. If they want more space they should just use Galle Face, because that’s also a place where people get together and not do much.”

Meanwhile Ranil has said he will once again check through his Facebook friends list to ensure no one else has been left out before confirming the final cabinet.
