UN resident coordinator makes an appeal for SL

Pantha Kumaran Monday, 19 September 2022 03:36 PM

Today the government top priority is to please SLPP and appoint large amount of Ministers and State Ministers. They don't care about the poor ordinary citizens. Look at the cabinet, it is full of crooks and criminals. What we want is another revolt.

Thanks, Ms. Hanaa Singer for your appeal on behalf of the Sri Lankan people. Most of our politicians asked from world and expats not to send money until they come to power.

UN can help with a large consignment of chicken feed donation to keep the poultry and egg prices within reach. Carbs people will find, protein is scarce. Also help irrigate grass lands and donate milk cows and grass seed. that way rural economy will find a way to keep their wheels turning and create nutrition for the poor.

Thank You very much madam! 27% of our citizens live off Agriculture and livestock. If aid and donations help this segment of people to increase their production capability a large part of the problem gets resolved. Thereafter distribution networks export markets etc will help a further 11% to be employed and become self sustained using the increased produce and livestock. Urban population want trade amd tourism to improve and for this encourage Meetings International Confernces Exhibitions Sports events to select Sri Lanka as a destination. if possible Move a few UN agency field offices to be located in Sri Lanka. eg IWMI head office in Sri Lanka.

@Hanaa Singer -The best solution is to insist on accountability for the past corruption and recovery of stolen assets of the country. Feeding the corrupt is not solution.

No to UNHRC Monday, 19 September 2022 08:17 PM

The way the UNICEF say it 70% of our households are vulnerable to malnutrition. While the truth is hurtful to know, I hope our negotiator against the creditor can make the most of this awful truth of what horrible situation we're in. Same time the crazy UN HR must forget about following about pre-2022 matters because, it just won't help our nation to get out of mass malnutrition. Some Tamil people had a bit of hardship by their keeping pushing about it, will only worsen the plight of those same people and all others too. Those who died earlier and the endless corruption in our society have to forgiven so we can get about getting enough food to eat. The UN must not keep beating down on us when so many of our nation is hungry.

Food first religious place last Monday, 19 September 2022 09:47 PM

If government found to be putting funds for upkeep of religious places, instead of the needy, then UN must take human rights violation action against the government. Government funding for religious places and for their lights being on is like feeding useless but beautiful white elephants.

Ms Singer is whistling in the winds to deaf ears of Sri Lankan politicians. All what these politicians care is their bellies and greed. To satisfy this requirement they will go to any length to perpetuate their stay in power. If not why don't they call for fresh elections and seek fresh mandate from the people?

Madam, please force Sri Lankan Government to hold Presidential Election and General Election , immediately. At present a gang of “ Looters/ Rouges, and Criminals” are ruling the Country. Therefore it is extremely important to purify the Parliament.

UN Resident coordinator needed worry, our close friend China has installed collection boxes in all kindergartens and when they are full will be sending the collected money to us to buy food.
