Seriously! This is coming from the nation that imposed the highest taxes on cloud-based services and technologies. As someone working in the field, there's a global blog discussing how the Sri Lankan Central Bank lost track of billions of dollars and how it was transferred to blockchain. Why not focus your resources on tracking where the nodes are actively operational and how they're still functioning to this day? The answers would be gut-wrenching.

When are you going to resign ? You are a total failure as health Minister. No medicine, doctors are not issuing prescriptions, pharmaceutical companies are hesitant to bring anymore drugs, surgeons are staying away from operations etc due to your foolishness.
