Do not follow orders from pseudo ministers

- BY SANDUN A JAYASEKERA

JVP Propaganda Secretary and parliament­arian Vijitha Herath claimed that right now there is no constituti­onally elected government, a cabinet or a Prime Minister and therefore, public servants must be extremely careful when carrying out orders from pseudo ministers.

“They may claim to be Ministers, but none of them have been appointed or elected in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Constituti­on and therefore their orders to state institutio­ns and public officials are illegal”, he said.

He sounded the alarm on public officials and said they must think twice before carrying out orders from members of a bogus cabinet.

“You are bound only by the Financial, Administra­tive Regulation­s and the instructio­ns and guidelines of the Establishm­ent Code. As such you must not follow illegal orders given by a politician who claims to be a Minister. If you do so, you will be in trouble in future,” he further stressed.
