We will have another economic crisis and trouble days in 2028 according to a Prof from university of Peradaniya .. Now some politicians lecture about debt restructuring after made this country bankrupt.. People are innocent and professional people are innocent too..civil servants can't do anything. When all these politicians are robbing the country.. Now people want a political change They find a link between politics and our situation now . That link is these people have ruined the country and yet shamelessly they don't take responsibility for that .. Live and let us live should be the right advice to all these politicians

It has been dubbed "speedy"for the last two years, and certainly will be for at least the next twenty.

our politicians create the problems first and find the solution to those problems later on. Unfortunately, they use these problems to make politics out of those problems. As long as problems are out there they know they can fool the public by showing all those issues. Now our problems are not mere economic crisis alone but our politicians have a greater problem for the 22 million people. these people are more problematic than all those economic problems. they create problems to keep them in power. Now people are clever enough to know foxes from deer in politics,, Thank God, Sri Lankans are smarter and clever than all those aging politicians.

Sajith will have to change his tune soon. Silly guy.
Won’t Be Anytime Soon Sunday, 21 April 2024 01:05 PM
This guy is in dreamland! Speedy recovery won’t happen anytime soon. If lucky, within this generation. Debts and interest are mounting by the month at the rate this government’s expenditures are. So don’t belittle the people’s intelligence and start to pack up for a new set of politicians to take over soon.
