President Maithripala Sririsena is to take some strong political decisions in the upcoming week, highly placed sources revealed.

According to the sources, a Cabinet change is also to take place after Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe returns to the country this week, following his visit to Switzerland to attend the World Economic Summit 2017. Also, there is a possibility that President Sirisena will appoint several presidential commissions, in the course of next week, to probe some alleged large scale misappropriations that have surfaced under the present government.

The sources further revealed that the decision to change the Cabinet portfolios was taken after a careful study of the allegations raised against some of the present ministers. Several ministers in the government too have hinted at the changes at several press briefings during last couple of days.
