Later that afternoon Rathnatilleke appeared at the weekly post Cabinet meeting news briefing at the Department of Information. He claimed he was leaving on his own volition. President Rajapaksa was the only one who could eliminate LTTE terrorism in the country, he said. He claimed that some 20 Tiger guerrilla cadres had infiltrated the City of Colombo to target the Rajapaksa brothers as well as some Cabinet Ministers.

The entry of Rathnatilleke into the Government benches was to see the exit of Justice Minister (non Cabinet rank) Dilan Perera. He was incensed that a man implicated in the killing of a close associate, Nalanda Ellawala, had joined the Government. Perera was in the company of Ellawala, on his way from Colombo to Ratnapura when he was shot dead at Eheliyagoda. The incident took place in 1999. Rathnatilleke is likely to be indicted along with another UNP crossover Susantha Punchinilame, next week for the murder of Ellawala. Perera quit the SLFP Central Committee to show his protest.

Well known cricketer and Kotte parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga had only voiced his intentions to quit the Government when there were pressures on him. His father, Reggie, Governor of the North Western Province was to appeal to him to meet President Rajapaksa. He did and a lengthy discussion ensued with President agreeing to address Ranatunga's grievances. Ranatunga will be sworn in as a Cabinet Minister soon. It is likely, some of the portfolios of Chamal Rajapaksa will be given to him, though the former cricket captain is eyeing the sports ministry.
