Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe today charged that the government was unable to come out with its plans with regard to salary increments and other concessions in the New Year because of its commitment given to the IMF.

He requested an explanation by the state in Parliament on the matter. Mr. Wickremesinghe said, that the IMF in its statement of conclusion had suggested a shift from tax concessions as the principal tool for attracting investment. (YP)

If you still havent noticed, the economy is in tatters and we are inching higher on the failed states index, and all the govt has to give the public is empty rhetoric.

Is that why the Govt. is keeping their MOUTH shut on all the promises given so far?
