(March 30, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) UNP M.P. Kabir Hashim speaking to the media at the UNP media unit today ( 30 Mar) , said , the UNP had been consistently warning the Govt. against its lopsided fiscal polices and backstreet politics . The Govt . which has been concealing the country’s true dire economic position assuming that it can carry on this way regardless and forever , has led the people into the worst economic plight never witnessed before by the masses in SL’s history.. The Govt . which has been preoccupied with holding elections wasting public funds and gaining cheap manipulated popularity has allowed the country to slide down like what has happened to Zimbabwe. The Govt. which made all the grandiose promises in the Mahinda Chintana has gone back on all the promises . The Sinhala New Year is round the corner , but what do the people have to enjoy ?, he asked . This year , people’s burning cauldron of problems are boiling over , not the traditional pot of milk that is boiling over, he regretted. For the last three years , the UNP as the main Opposition party has always been warning the Govt. in the sincere interests of the people and the country that it has to mend its fiscal policies , but the Govt. paid no heed , even by passing Parliamentary procedures . The Govt. is now so sunk in foreign and local debts it can hardly breathe .
The Govt. as usual is trying to cover its mismanagement, wastages and inefficiency by holding elections and a profusion of lies . But., not only SL even the whole world is aware that the Rajapakse Govt. has voluntarily driven itself and the country into the worst economic holocaust . Very soon the economy will grind to a dead halt . The Govt. is continuing its borrowing spree only to settle existing debts and the prohibitive interests at which they have been borrowed. In its desperation ,it can hardly think of alleviating the people’s economic hardships or developing the country.
The Govt.’s solution to the economic ills is printing money , borrowing from Peter to pay Paul , and suppressing the true abysmal economic situation thus deepening the country’s economic crises. Being the sole architect of this dismal and disastrous situation , it is unable to disclose the facts to the people, he exclaimed.
Even Zimbabwe President wins elections and continues in power , but , does that mean the Govt. is popular or has solved people’s problems ? he asked.-Sri Lanka Guardian
