Minister Wimal Weerawansa is acting in a play written by the Rajapaksa family and attempting to cover up their misdeeds, UNP Secretary Tissa Attanayake told a news conference today.

“He is accusing Treasury Secretary P.B. Jayasundere of messing up Sri Lanka’s economy without blaming President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who as the Minister of Finance and Planning is the person responsible for economic crisis in the country”.

“Till the recent Cabinet reshuffle the Ministry of Economic Development and Investment was under the purview of Minister Basil Rajapaksa. Contrary to what the Central Banks says foreign investments in Sri Lanka has declined. The Investment part of the ministry has been taken away from Mr. Rajapaksa and given to Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena who was elevated as Minister of Investment Promotion. Once again the Rajapaksa family is trying to cover up their inability to manage the economy,” Mr. Attanayake added. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Hello Tissa...you are worse than Wimal W.... You and your leader must retire save the UNP.

    Aney Machang Monday, 18 February 2013 09:50 AM

    Dear Tissa, The UNP'ers will be ever thankful to you to kindly resign from the Gen.Secretary post of UNP, which has been eroded over the past years due to the inefficiency of people like you. Please go home and do not ever stand for a re election again....

    Aiyo tissa u and yr boss only sound no action as well. So it makes no difference.

    Lobo Monday, 18 February 2013 10:11 AM

    Sarath Jay Monday, 18 February 2013 01:13 PM

    Tissa, before talk about others corrrect yourself. You are a puppet.

    Mason Monday, 18 February 2013 01:25 PM

    Tissa, everyone is aware of the antics of Wimal, Mervyn and their ilk. Needless to say these need no pointing out. The need of the hour is a strong opposition to curb the corruption, bring back democracy, non-interference in judiciary and enforce law and order. Towards all these the UNP has miserably failed to contribute substantially. So, stop the talking and do what the country needs.

    Countryman Monday, 18 February 2013 08:36 AM

    Wimal acting for MR is ok because he appears with govt. Problem for people is Ranil acting for MR while showing to be in opposition.

    Fayad Monday, 18 February 2013 08:41 AM

    We are not interested in Wimal at all
    we love see a better Act & play by UNP to topple the Government, people are not interested in your usual jokes.

    saradiyal Monday, 18 February 2013 08:43 AM

    They are managing it well to pump money to their offshore accounts. We will track them down one day very soon and get them back. When they r in jail.

    Kan Monday, 18 February 2013 08:16 AM

    whether you criticize government or not, they are in power because of spineless opposition parties.

    raviraj Monday, 18 February 2013 08:55 AM

    oppositionor anyone else cannot "topple" this govt. as they are elected by the people. Why repeatedly elect this govt. and blame the opposition for your foolish decisions
