Western Provincial Council budget to be presented tomorrow [November 03 2008]

The ruling UPFA is set to present its budget for 2009 at tomorrow's Western Provincial Council meeting in Colombo. UPFA sources at the Western Provincial Council said that they are confident of winning the majority to get the 2009 Budget passed.

Meanwhile, a top Government source denied recent news reports that the Government is planning to dissolve the Western Provincial Council and hold fresh election. "There is no truth in that. The Government has no immediate plans to dissolve the WPC and the elections would only be held at appropriate time. We have no problem in securing the majority," he added.
