Sirikotha sources say the suggestions have been made to give greater responsibilities to Minister Mangala Samaraweera within the United National Party in the upcoming party reorganization.
Mangala Samaraweera who left the Rajapaksa government in 2006 and challenged the government, joined the UNP at the invitation of UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe. However, he has not been given any major responsible title yet.
But due to his support and efforts to defeat the recent no confidence and gain his expertise to uplift the party, suggestions have been made to present the Minister with a higher position within the party during yesterday party reorganization meeting.
The working committee of the UNP and the UNP parliamentary group held a lengthy discussion on the recommendations and proposals of the three committees on the restructuring of the party as a pledged by UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe.
It is also proposed to establish several Deputy Leader posts in the UNP.
