The board members (commissioners) were assembling for the meeting.Share prices at the Colombo Stock Exchange have sunk this week,  leading to its lowest turnovers in recent times, amidst speculation that  SEC Director-General Malik Cader was likely to step down or asked to  resign. The sources said that some politically, influential investors were  putting pressure on government higher-ups to ease controls in the  market, saying it was hampering business. There has a lot of concern in  recent times over insider trading and market manipulation in the market.ST</blockquote>
