S P :Government must also seek global expert advice and not just from the local businessman (because of possible conflict of interest of the locals). There must be many overseas experts with excellent experience in similar work. Take Singapore for an example. During its infancy, its forefather Lee Kwan Yew used many foreign consultants for building up his young nation. Just like what we did in successful debt restructuring of 2022 with financial and legal advice obtained from Lazard and Clifford Chance. We must follow that proven formula in this case too.

This type of weather forecast is not useful.
Provincial-level forecasts should be more detailed instead of generalised statements about the whole country.I live in Kandy; I'm not sure about what the forecast is for tomorrow

Khayyam :Well said. This is one of the biggest things holding us back. Along with the Government (and past Governments), the legal fraternity is also at fault. They benefit from a broken system, and are allergic to any kind of change-let alone innovation.

Shera :More loans that become tax burdens for every citizen rich or poor. These have to be paid back with interest. The government should reconsider financial decisions and try to be less dependent on loans. More money will be printed to pay it off and will drive up inflation causing the rupee to be significantly worthless.

Jayampathi Gunasekera :Hope these type of interventions to protect the independence of the judiciary will be taken by these lawyers (with political affiliation) even in instances where it is unfavourable to them or their political parties. It should not be seen that it is used selectively only when it suits these political affiliated lawyers.
