National Organizer of National Freedom Front (NFF) Jayantha Samaraweera says he is stepping down from his position as the State Minister.

 

According to reports, Samaraweera has directed over his letter of resignation to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

 

Samaraweera served as the State Minister of Warehouse Facilities, Container Yards, Port Supply Facilities and Boats and Shipping Industry Development.

 

His resignation came days after Udaya Gammanpila and Wimal Weerawansa were stripped of their portfolios as the Minister of Energy and Minister of Industries, respectively.

 

Their sacking was followed by a Cabinet reshuffle on March 03 and 04.
