Sri Lanka, Aug. 11 -- The Cabinet of Ministers has failed to maintain its collective responsibility through its contrasting utterances on the investment on the SupremeSAT project, United National Party (UNP) General Secretary Thalatha Athukorala said today.

"The Cabinet is bound to maintain collective responsibility as per Article 43(1) of the Constitution. What we have seen is Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya coming up with an answer in response to a question raised by an Opposition MP in Parliament recently.
