It is reported that the government is focusing on removing the Governor of Sabaragamuwa Province, Tikiri Kobbekaduwa, who is currently on a foreign trip, from his post as soon as he arrives in the island.
According to political sources, it is very likely that one of the two former ministers Navin Dissanayake or Palitha Range Bandara will be appointed as the new governor of Sabaragamuwa.
