Harin wants joint mechanism for 10 years to contain COVID-19

SJB MP Harin Fernando, after a long spell of silence yesterday called for a joint mechanism of all political parties for a period of ten years to see Sri Lanka through the present crisis.

Speaking during a webinar, Mr. Fernando said a concept paper outlining a mechanism on how all political parties should work together, should be prepared.

“We should design this mechanism to govern the nation for a period of ten years and see that younger MPS are allowed to play a greater role in it.the concept paper should be a detailed one which outlines how the nation should face the post COVID period,” Mr. Fernando said.

“This is my personal concept and not that of my party,” he added.

He said one of the major issues which the country faced today was a need for a proper vaccination programme.“we should come up with a proper vaccine programme,” he said.(YOHAN PERERA)
