President Ranil Wickremesinghe stated that the country’s economy and political system collapsed because politicians were unwilling to speak the truth and took on massive debt to fulfil promises made to the people.
The President pointed out that even the leaders calling for change today are following the same path, and emphasized that no one would be allowed to play games with the economy anymore.
President Ranil wickremesinghe made these remarks yesterday (13) while addressing a gathering of private tuition masters/teachers at the Water’s Edge Hotel in Battaramulla. The event, organized under the banner “Teachers Who Think About the Country,” (Rata Gana Sithana Guru Pawura) was attended by a large number of tuition masters/teachers from various parts of the island.
President Wickremesinghe further stressed that corrupt and irresponsible politicians should no longer be elected to Parliament.
He recalled that when the country was in crisis, he invited other political leaders to join in rebuilding the economy, but they shirked their responsibilities.
