Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has recently told all Cabinet Ministers that they should express their opinions in such a way that the forward march of the government won't be affected.
He had said they could have conflicting opinions on government decisions, but taking different stands on on some issue could impede the progress of work being done.
Hence the Ministers should refrain from embarrassing the government by taking different stands, the Prime Minister said.
Although the UNP and the SLFP had contested the general election separately, they had come together to form a government and it was the duty of all minister to abide by the decisions taken by the government, the PM told the minister.
