People will only be getting their relief for essential commodities promised by the government, after their death, All Island Canteen Owners' Association (AICOA) Chief Asela Sampath said.

Addressing the media today, he said people will never get relief for essential commodities while they are among the living, but on their seventh day and three months almsgiving.

Sampath also mentioned that this country has gone down to a pathetic state with the promises by these politicians.

Therefore, the AICOA requested the president and the opposition leader to dissolve the government as soon as they can and appoint democratically elected leaders to grant relief for the people.

All the present parliamentarians should be removed and a new set of ministers who have a heart towards the country and value democracy should be installed to bring relief for the suffering. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

    Financial crisis is bad. Some industry like canteen have to content with more people choosing to bring in food from home. Blame the Central Bank, for upping interest rates too, which curtails spending and business activity. There fixed dollar peg reduced dollar inflows too. Nothing can be done with the current parliament and government institutions doing as they have been for decades. Ruining our country with a 1000 slow painful cuts. Only an uprising to utterly get rid of parliament can bring about a faster turn around.

    Yes because you people keep increasing prices irrelevant of raw material costs. Curse on you and your families!

    Dieing without food. Tuesday, 20 September 2022 09:32 PM

    You won't find a committed Politicians serving the people even-after your DEATH. You do really not know the THEORY of the POLITICS. Once said Winston Churchill that "POLITICS IS A LAST RESORT OF A SCOUNDREL"!!!!!

    “Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen”- said by Winston Churchill , and followed by Ranil Practicing throughout life to date.

    Dissolving government is not the solution. President must have the spine to investigate those who robbed the country. First release our star investigator Shani and his team from the allegations made to courts and get them involved to investigate the financial crimes. We went down with the robbing. We must come out with the robbed money in hand

    Wish more people spoke out, the political thieves need to be kicked out. They’ve ruined generations. Thieves get prominence, rapists, drug lords, a true banana republic, we’ve lost everything we had because of these heartless thieves. The truth.

    Nothing to blame the Central Bank. It is to restore the economy in Sri Lanka after robbing of the Royal family and their friends and their dealers with the approval of 6.9 M extraordinary intelligent and sound people, in Sri Lanka.
