In the wake of the VAT hike affecting the public, the committee
appointed by the SLFP to study the recent VAT hike will present its
report to President Maithripala Sirisena this week, State Finance
Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena told the Sunday Observer yesterday.
The concept of a shadow cabinet is not a new
phenomenon in the local political arena. When former Prime Minister
S.W.R.D Bandaranaike ascended to power in 1956, the LSSP, the largest
political party in the Opposition at the time formed a shadow cabinet
with its 14 MPs.
