The current president, Ranil Wickremesinghe, was appointed to the post for the sake of the Aragalaya and it seems he has not learned anything from the past, Ven. Dr. Omalpe Sobitha Thera said.

Addressing the media, he emphasized that the people who stole the national wealth should be brought to justice and that corrupt people should not be appointed as ministers.

Instead of new procedures, the President is seen continuing with the old practices. He used to continue with this same selfish and inhumane political agenda with the support of his old ministers, friends and relatives.

Therefore, we strongly advise him to stop the old practices, punish the thieves, and bring the country's national wealth back from the people who stole it, he said. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
