No new agreements will be made with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), acting Finance Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya said.

While speaking to the media in Ruwanwella last evening, he said that the domestic debt optimization, which was a basic requirement for foreign debt optimization, has now been fully completed and hence the foreign debt optimization can also be completed soon. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

Don't try to fool us Mr. Minister. IMF is not bothered about your internal loans, and you don't need to touch our EPF or ETF hard earned money. No more Taxes also - mind it.

We are not at all bothered about your IMF loans. Stop taxing the poor man, get us the genuine medicines and food for reasonable prices and help our farmers.

This man is playing tunes to please his Boss. The people have now learned enough and cannot be fooled anymore. There is no need to say that no new Agreements are to be signed with the IMF.
