Refers to an advertisement in the Daily mirror By Yohan Perera

Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe who wound up the New Democratic Front (NDF) campaign for the general election said the people of Sri Lanka should decide whether they want to sweep away the dirt and end up with an L board government and a Parliament.

"Look at the Dailymirror today. It says get ready to sweep the dirt away" he said, referring to a campaign slogan of the NPP which appeared in an advertisement in the Dailymirror.

"Cleaning up is good but do you want to end up with an L board Parliament and a government," he questioned.

He said the Economic council appointed by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on comprises persons from various fields but they lack knowledge on the economy." Do these people know what an extended fund facility agreement is," he questioned.

He said Sri Lanka might lose dollars 8 billion concession from foreign debt services which was secured during the previous regime. " Also one wonders as to why talks with the IMF should go for a third round. The IMF's norm is to complete a discussion in two rounds. Why is Sri Lanka going for a third round? Sri Lanka will end up going bankrupt once again at this rate. Therefore it is essential to see that there are experienced persons in Parliament, " he said.

Ignore RW’s Comments- He’s Bored These Days Tuesday, 12 November 2024 12:34 PM

Suggest all to ignore RWs comments. Just wants a conversation as he’s bored these days. Majority are aware NPP will take time to digest and follow up on paramount issues the next few years. As mentioned previously, can’t resolve complicated issues overnight!

You want to bring the team of liars that now tell which they didn't tell the following. They promised to amend the IMF agreement and remove taxes particularly on essential items. Reduce the fuel prices after removing commissions and reduce the diesel price to Rs. 150/=. Blast the rice mafia. Cancel all unsolicited contracts including Trincomalee oil tanks agreement . All was to be done in a short time with the executive powers. But, nothing has been done and 7 M people still starve as Ranil's time and no difference to Ranil's time. The Ranil advanced repayment process which was to be started from 2028, not changed though the IMF wanted to start from 2033. As they failed, they have started to threaten the media like the Rajapaksha era and they will blast the media like Rajapaksas' after the election, making SL another North Korea. Talks only. No Action. Just compare the 100 day programme of the good governance, for being aware, what and how talks can be fulfilled. NPP is a mirage.

Attitude of old horses must change by now. Else they won't be elected to parliament again. If you have a bad history, no need to name , then no point of contesting or coming to parliament as you have earned enough money for few generations. So let the new blood come from all parties and learn the basics and gain experience.

The 3rd round of talks with IMF is because the terms need re-adjustment from what you agreed. The new terms needs be more country-friendly and people friendly. You will twist any situation to suit your agenda. Crook.

Could someone write down names of all politicians and describe under each the in-depth experience in corruption, unethical dealings, stupid actions etc.? Publish it for public to read and to make sure no one gives any leader who gave freedom to those guys to behave that way. If these old haggard guys don’t shut up and leave the country to next generation, arrest them and put the into jail for the crimes they did misusing public money and trust. No one would cry for sure.

So what about the comment from one of your supporters who said that the third tranche would be taken if you were president? Means that you also planned for a third discussion. Cleaning up of a house or parliament should start somewhere rather than keeping it back. The citizens of the country rejected the corrupt government and created a new beginning to start a new, now the defeated old fellows are trying their best to enter parliament from the back door. Dear so called experienced all knowing ex president can you tell us who the leader of your party is since you are not contesting and your name not being on the national list.

If you actually care what you should have been doing is to make sure NPP have a majority parliament. At least 113. That way we can be sure that there won't be any political turmoil. So current president and government can take this country forward. If not they can be removed as well in next election. Give them a chance. Obviously you guys had your chance.

He was with them for a long time and caught the virus from them. Next he will definitely start eating raw fish and that panni. Some also warn ⚠️ his wife to keep an eye on him. Something wrong some where maybe his upstairs

You chance was given and you performed and now the people have elected someone who they believe will clean Sri lanka and the politics in SL for good. No matter how experienced you are if you are a corrupted politician nothing matters. We are better off with "L'' board politicians than rogues ,thugs,drug loards and goons. At least the blessings of nature will be with the country to move forward.I hope our president will leave no stone unturned and bring all the culprits to justice and do away with all these thugs and rogues whoever they might be.

It is better to have learners than experienced looters, your slogan experience people not going to work, if so experienced then the country should be developed like singapore by now. Not a bankrupt country. The public knows in what you guyz are experienced. No counties developed with corruption, only the corruption free parliament developed the country. All these years both side looted and played blame game in the parliament wasting tax payers money.

So enough dirt from from you, people have decided and your time is over. Just go hide with your mates until you get asked to speak in defending some of your dirt.

If RW is a man with Guts, he must respond to AKD's request to nominate 10 experienced people in his group so that AKD can give their great experiences! My observations: RW the Pina with lots of experience in saving culprits, hiding the law and order, bank robberies, help friends to escape without paying taxes (few are in jail now), keep illegal cars, keep murdorers in the society, keep kaapams in the parliament, keep pagamen in the parliament and many more! Therefore, keep your dirty, smelly mouth shut!

Even if NPP tries to clean the Parliament, the corrosion and dirt is settled since 1956. It is better to covert the Paliament into economical and budgeted fare hotel for tourists to sit and relax. More forex can be earned rather than keep on maintaing and spending tax payers hard earned money on dirt.
