Parliament heated up over IMF staff level agreement

Daily Mirror Humbug useless to give name and address Wednesday, 21 September 2022 02:48 PM

Opposition is now talking bullshit after IMF agreed on work structure for release of loan after meeting financial reform from International creditors . We saw opposition on their episodes on Sarvapakshika never reached by them. Now SJB and Harsha are on a charade of opposing . Why their self demands to work out in government is not making. Although they talk country first, their personal and political goals are their wants. Your tactics are to delay IMF loan. Again you want people suffering in queues as your motto. Now have no faith Harsha instead a big shame of you.

SJB gave up their majority control last term when Gota got in, they just don't understand to fight to the end, and unsuited ever to be in government. Where will new/fresh candidates for people to vote for going to come from. I hope people don't just vote SJB because they hate SLPP because SJB are just inept at properly ferocious politics. At our time of dire need, with massive debts, are government needs to be madly strong, and unfortunately it is the thugs and rascals of SLPP who show they are best suited for need. Harasha should not have waited for Vasudeva to prompt him of his responsibility to know. He's one of the worst straw men. With his dead attitude I feel his always wearing blank suit makes him better suited to be an actor playing his part by being in a coffin. Good Ranjan R does not join in with SBJ again, because SJB should have complained in parliament that the law is bad, and the judges doing are corrupt instead of being quiet against the matter.

At least they're getting closer to a break through on the currently secret staff agreement. However, some of the happening on SJB side makes me wonder. Harsha could've easily asked Vasudeva to put up the question just to create the apparent need. Otherwise thoroughly embarrassing Vasudeva had to point out why as chairman of public finance Harsha doesn't know. Harsha seems really lacking competence. Channa Herath was truly a level above Harsha when a Chairman. MP Bandula is showing good quick wit with having the snipe about Yahapalanya.

IMF agreement kept secret or withheld by CB Governor claiming tax issue. For encourage business investment, there should be minimal secrets about tax. If there are plans for increase it duty of government to inform, as then business can choose how they might further investments. Existing business revenue would not change by tax increase, but business can't be shocked when one week they make investment and next week they find they take much longer to make it back because of tax increase. If there is much unknown business just won't invest in fear. Having transparency gives them greater confidence to invest knowing return on investment and payback time. Best way to have longer term increasing tax revenue is by having greater business activity, and that activity increases with investment. Keeping things secretive takes away from long term tax earning growth for the government.
