(July 21, 2009 - Lanka Polity) The Minister of Foreign Affairs Rohitha Bogollagama is likely to lose the portfolio due to allegations on extravaganzas including excess foreign tours and lavish spending during tours.
Meanwhile, Minister of Disaster Management and Human Rights is reportedly vying for the Foreign Ministry and expressed what he planned to do if the post is given to him in an interview with Sri Lanka Guardian.
However, sources say that Minister Rohitha Bogollagama has the uncompromising support of the Buddhist religious leaders, a fact the President considers seriously.
