Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Monday swore in
four ministers into the new cabinet, hours after cabinet ministers tendered
their resignations amidst a severe economic and political crisis in the nation.
Officials from the President's Office said that former
Justice Minister Ali Sabry was sworn in as the new finance minister while G.L.
Peiris was sworn in as the foreign minister, Dinesh Gunawardena as the
education minister and Johnston Fernando as the highways minister.
More ministers will be sworn into the cabinet in the coming
days if the opposition parties agree to form a united government, government
officials said.
Sri Lanka has for days been facing public protests calling
for immediate measures to be taken by the government to solve the economic
crisis, hours-long power cuts and shortages in fuel and other essential
supplies.
Sri Lanka's cabinet ministers offered to resign from their
positions on Sunday night in response to calls from increasing protests amid
economic instability and a severe fuel shortage in the South Asian country.
On Monday, President Rajapaksa extended an invitation to all
political parties to join the government to find solutions to the ongoing
crisis.
