Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa yesterday said unless forming a stable Government and a strong Cabinet of ministers in the country the economic situation and the most needed burning issues of people cannot be solved as expected.
Commenting on a statement made by the Government on the importance of strengthening the country’s development activities, the Opposition Leader said the present day leaders have no proper vision to bring a lasting solution to the current economic crisis as they are under the impression that burning economic problems of people could be solved by appointing persons to higher positions by paying thumping salaries.
He said according to World Bank and Fitch ratings the present stand of our country’ s economy is in the negative situation and they have downgraded our economy and therefore the Government should strengthen its economy as early as possible and solve the burning issues of people rather than appointing persons to higher positions.
Premadasa also said the Government should reveal the people about its future development plans that will be taken to prosper the country’s economy rather than giving perks and other benefits to their henchmen.
Premadasa further said to develop the economy and the living standards of 22 million people in the country SJB is ready to take the leadership for five years following an election.
