The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) said yesterday it would decide whether to extend the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the United National Party (UNP) on the Unity Government after the Local Government (LG) elections.
SLFP General Secretary and Minister, Duminda Dissanayake said their focus at the moment was to face the elections like the other political parties.
“We will convene the SLFP Central Committee (CC) no sooner the LG poll is over to make a decision on extending the MoU as we have done previously. We will have talks with the UNP once the poll is over,” he told Daily Mirror.
On Wednesday, SLFP MP Dullas Alahapperuma, who represents the joint opposition said SLFP patron and former president Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga has instructed the party CC to extend the MoU by another year.
However, Minister Dissanayake rejected the claim and said no such suggestions had been made by Ms. Kumaratunga.

This statement is just to deceive the voters. Decision is already made to continue the "Unity" government with robbers.

Continuity of the unity government is the only hope for Sri lanka.

Unity government is a total failure. As such, one party should govern with the minimum number of ministers to reduce waste and develop the country.
