Sabry refuses to take up Finance minister post!

Former Finance minister - Ali Sabry has refused a President's request to re-take the Finance ministry.

It is reported that Sabry has declined due to pressure from his family members.

However, the President had declined to accept his resignation.

Regardless, with Mahinda Rajapaksa resigning on the 09th, the entire cabinet had been dissolved.
