The United National Party criticised the Government’s attempts to distract the public from the ongoing crisis in the country.
UNP Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene accused the Government of failing to address the growing issues faced by the public.Speaking at a meeting attended by UNP activists, Wijewardena commented on the recent sacking of two Cabinet Ministers. “The Government is treating the public like fools, they think that sacking two Ministers will make us think they are solving the problems in the country. This is just an attempt to distract us.
A Cabinet reshuffle is not the answer to the dollar crisis, if at all the President should remove the Central Bank Governor who has continued to pursue policies that have prevented dollars from entering the country.”
