President Ranil Wickremesinghe this week announced plans to establish a Digital Promotion Agency aimed at developing computer applications for the collection and monitoring of data from various government entities in the country.

Previously, private companies had been responsible for creating such applications for government organisations.

However, the President emphasised the need for a dedicated agency to carry out this task in the future.

President Wickremesinghe shared these intentions during a meeting with ruling and Opposition party members at the Parliament Complex this week.

Likewise create necessary mandates and laws to have a National Spacial data base to which all including private sector must be willing to send data.

Ranil the fool is going to destroy our happy and healthy society Friday, 09 June 2023 11:53 AM

Follow the instructions from the “ new masters” the IMF and create a “ surveillance “ society like it is in the West. It is now emerging that during the COVID , British government was monitoring every individual who uttered even a sentence against the lockdowns and vaccines. In the West , “ democracy” is only for propaganda purposes and in reality everyone is monitored and those with dissenting voice is monitored 24/7. The difference between Russia and any Western country is that in the former they watch over you openly but in the latter it is done more aggressively but discreetly, so no one knows until years later.

But why should we worry, unless we have some thing to hide?

All Ranil's plans are good except that he never thinks of any plans to recover the wealth plundered by Politicians and Officials in the past that lead to the crisis the country is now in. He can do this by even excluding him and his cronies.
