Budget to contain proposals for privatization of public enterprises

SC system change fir a better sri lanka Tuesday, 08 November 2022 09:02 AM

President RW must share a national plan rather than making all of these efforts look like dictates from the IMF. At keast bia the state ministers of Finance share a long medium and short term plan. better communication builds better trust and in turn more hope and a appetite for investment and risk taking which we need to build entreprenieul manufacturing and service sector growth.

State Owned Enterprises have been a burden on the public purse as these enterprises are making tremendous losses due to high overhead costs with no proper management of the resources available. Employers too show scant respect of the Marginal Productivity theory where workers should be hired until the contribution that the last marginal worker makes to the total value of the product is equal to the extra cost incurred by hiring of one more worker. A prudent move as all lackeys of politicians have created this chaos.

If it boosts productivity, efficiency, profits (or minimize losses), innovations while not putting much burden on people and not removing honest and hard workers. Also it shoud minimize corruption, not demanding comis(%) at the begining or afterwards.

Sigiri galath vikuna kalugal walata, samanala kande badu demu hotalayakata. Let us sell Sigiriya for its rubble and lease Adam's Peak to a hotel. This is the solution that ranil has to offer to take us out of this economic quagmire.

Well done, Mr. President. Looks promising and looking at this from the half glass full end. Get rid of all these damned SOEs and if need be, bring in from abroad to bridge the gaps in service. They have all been sitting thumb in bum, for far too long now. Privatise, privatise, privatise .. the whole lot. Damn curse.
