The government should either resign allowing for an interim government or go for a Parliamentary election if the government and opposition MPs are not ready for an interim government, Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunge said today.
She said in a statement posted on social media that the peole's representatives could remain in power as long as they have people's mandate and that they should be ready to relinquish power soon after people rejected them.
"People give power to people's representatives to get their aspirations fulfilled. They should realise that the power given by the people is temporary not lifetime," she said.
Ms Kumaratunge said she strongly condemned the moves of the government to remain in power without heeding to the strong appeal of the religious leaders including Buddhist monks, Civil Society and the general public.
"I request all people's representatives if they are unable to represent people and their objectives honestly, it is more dignified to resign from the Parliamentary seat," she said.
She said the government had only two options at the moment.
"The first is to resign the President and the government and form a stable administration in the country by strengthening the domestic economy through an interim government. And the second is, if the government and opposition MPs are not ready for it, go for a Parliamentary election and form a stable government," she said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

Good advice

That's correct. Dissolve patliment and have a general election. Let the people decide. Sri lankana willingly meet the cost within hours as the coffers are empty. Why not promote the suggestion in the media

Do you have any solution for economic crisis? How can you solve ?
Nihal S Saturday, 07 May 2022 01:58 PM
Exactly. Winning the war in 2009 is not a qualification for the corrupted Rajapakse to continue governing this country for ever.
Clara Thattil Saturday, 07 May 2022 02:12 PM
The only sane advise received so far !

CBK is good for talking. Not for any other thing. Her mind is full of garbage.
Upali Saturday, 07 May 2022 02:24 PM
we donot want to make any hassle if we amend the constitution into the effect that after formation of a govt if a section of the people demonstrate asking that legitimately elected govt to GOHOME its mandates to disolve the govt..

They will not resign like past Presidents and Prime Ministers because all of their corruption will become public.

Respect to you Ms.CBK but don't forget you bred these pigs. You had the choice, like your father you messed it too.
DW Saturday, 07 May 2022 03:06 PM
Rajapaksas know that if they resign, they would eventually end up in jail for wrong doings. So hang on to power as long as they can. Forget about the well-being of the Sri Lankan population.

Big problem is the ruthless brainless president!! Parliament is a small problem.
