Earlier the meeting of reinstated House of Representatives called upon the new government to dismiss all the ambassadors appointed by the royal government and this decision came after a 2-hour cabinet meeting held at the residence of the prime minister.

Similarly the new government has decided to scrap all the political appointments to various corporations and state-owned institutions made by three governments after the October 2002 royal takeover.
