Minister S.B. Dissanayake has been appointed as the Chief Government Whip, according to MP Dilan Perera.

Speaking at a press briefing in Colombo today, he said that the minister will officially assume duties in that position tomorrow (9).

Last week, the UPFA Parliamentary Group had decided to appoint MP Dinesh Gunawardena as the Leader of House while they had decided to postpone the appointment of the Chief Government Whip by several days.

Dissanayake was also appointed as the Minister of Highways and Road Development last evening (8).
