President Maithripala Sirisena is said to have asked two of the Governors to resign from their posts.
This is over the severe criticism levelled against the two governors by the SLFP General Secretary Dayasiri Jayasekara and Mahinda Amaraweera.
However, when contacted by us a Presidential Secretariat spokesman said that he was not aware of the President asking any of the governors to resign, but said that it was true that Jayasekara and Amaraweera had criticised two of the governors.
He also noted that the two governors under criticism have been those who have worked without giving prominence to political agendas.
